Impact of HIV / AIDS on poverty, inequality and economic growth

IDRC GGP working paper seriesThis working paper includes a literature review prepared by Marisa Casale and a study of research gaps and priorities by Marisa Casale and Alan Whiteside, prepared to inform an IDRC consultation on HIV/AIDS, Economic Growth and Poverty held in October 2005 in Ottawa. Although there is now more available evidence than ever on the social and economic impact of the AIDS pandemic, many unexplored or under-explored areas still remain. This is highlighted in the 2004 UNAIDS Report on the Global AIDS Pandemic, which points out that more than 40% of countries with a generalized epidemic have yet to evaluate its impact. This paper, first reviews the literature on the socio-economic consequences of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, looking specifically at the interaction of HIV/AIDS with poverty and inequality at a household or micro level, and with economic growth at a macro level, highlighting findings from the most important studies, as well as recent original research. Its second part identifies important gaps in existing research and suggests how future research agendas may be developed. It argues that future work should be focused on areas where research is most lacking and most urgently needed to inform policy, with an emphasis on building on existing work and using multidisciplinary and innovative tools.In particular, the need for broader and deeper micro and sectoral level work, and the interlinkages between micro and macro impacts as well as the specific impacts on government expenditures is highlighted
