To achieve this, it uses data from Cameroonian household surveys (ECAM III and ECAM IV). The breakdown of Oaxaca-Blinder (1973) and that of Duclos-Estéban-Ray (2004) developed by Araar (2008) show that the level of education, the socioprofessional category and the size of the household are the factors that determine the disparity in expenditure per consumption unit between households. However, the rural environment, the Far North and North West Cameroon regions contribute more to intra-group polarization. Hence the interest in further promoting and improving educational policies, access to decent employment in areas in crisis and continuous awareness-raising actions for responsible motherhood.
