520    The persistence of poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), in
       the face of increased globalization and rapid trade 
       liberalization during the past two decades has inspired 
       considerable debate on the impact of globalization, in 
       general, and trade liberalization, in particular, on 
       poverty. 1/4 The standard argument is that global trade 
       liberalization would lead to a rise in the incomes of 
       unskilled labour in developing countries. In other words, 
       since developing countries are more likely to have a 
       comparative advantage in producing unskilled labour-
       intensive goods, one would expect trade reforms in these 
       countries to be inherently pro-poor. However, the 
       experiences of many developing countries, particularly in 
       SSA, have been disappointing and in many cases poverty has
       increased following trade liberalization. In Ghana, like 
       many other SSA countries, poverty remains the fundamental 
       problem confronting policymakers. Yet, between 1991 and 
       2006, the headcount index of poverty fell by 23.2 
       percentage points with the proportion of the population 
       living below the national poverty line falling from 51.7% 
       in 1991/92 to 28.5% in 2005/06. Trade liberalization and 
       resulting export growth have been an important art of the 
       story. The EditorsCharles Ackah, a development economist, 
       is a Research Fellow with the Institute of Statistical, 
       Social and Economic Research (ISSER), University of Ghana,
       Legon. He worked previously with the World Bank in 
       Washington DC. Ernest Aryeetey is a professor of economics
       and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ghana and 
       Director of its Institute of Statistical, Social and 
       Economic Research. He was previously a Senior Fellow and 
       Director of the Africa Growth Initiative at the Brookings 
       Institution, Washington, DC.
