Abstract: Poverty and inequality are considered as the main causes of the Tunisian and Egyptian revolutions. Measures that have been taken to remedy the situation of well-being in these countries have been criticized. The paper proposes to identify the main driving factors of welfare distribution in Tunisia and Egypt. In order to capture differences in both returns in employment and demographic characteristics, the methodology uses three data wave between 2005 and 2015 from both countries. Following Jmaii et al. (2017) Jmaii (2016), the author use counterfactual decomposition methods to compare the economic and demographic characteristics in both countries, as well as their impact on the distribution of consumption expenditures. This method one help to analyze the contribution of different characteristics for each country to welfare and make a comparison before and after their revolutions
