| Description |
The main aim of the article is to present the level of the socioeconomic development in Sub-Saharan Africa's sub-regions: West Africa, South Africa, East Africa, and Central Africa. The second aim is to identify whether some of the subregions have significantly different level of the socio-economic development in comparison to the others. A composite index of development has been created. Hypotheses are verified through statistical analysis (including parametric tests). In conclusion, Sub-Saharan countries do not differ significantly in the socio-economic development level. No sub-region has a significantly higher (or lower) level of development in comparison to the others. However, after eliminating Seychelles from the analysis (as an outlier value) East Africa proves to be significantly lower developed than the whole region and other sub-regions. Finally new composite index of the socio-economic development has been created to test the hypotheses.
