This is due to the fact that in Ghana food prices are predicted to increase much more than non-food prices whereas, in both Burkina and Cameroon, food prices decrease in comparison with non-food prices. In Cameroon, this difference between food/non-food price changes is such that hunger rates under the crisis are even slightly lower than those observed in the base-year. Children in Burkina Faso, already with the lowest school participation rates, are the most affected with a reduction of up to 0.8 percentage points in school participation and an increase of their involvement in work of nearly 1.2 points. In decomposing these results, the situation is even worse: the fall in school participation is entirely driven by a reduction in the “school/no work” alternative, while the rise in child work is the result of an increase in the “no school/work” alternative.
