Abstract: A significant fraction of recently surveyed Ethiopian rural and urban households report income losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study estimates how large these income losses are likely to be and the consequent impact on the poverty status of households. It finds that both the poverty headcount ratio and the poverty gap could increase significantly.
