The purpose of this article is to study empirically whether the Kuznets’ curve hypothesis on inequality and development is present in the economies located in Africa, as well as whether there is a minimum income for this hypothesis to begin to be fulfilled. In order to study this question, a panel of data from 45 countries is available for the period 1975–2019, and these data are analysed through a graphical point of view and through an econometric analysis using the pooled mean group estimator. The results obtained allow us to conclude that there is evidence in favour of Kuznets’ hypothesis and that a minimum level of income is required for it to be significantly observed. As well as the fact that today there is still a palpable heritage of European colonization.

本文的目的是实证研究位于非洲的经济体中是否存在库兹涅茨曲线关于不平等和发展的假设，以及该假设是否存在开始实现的最低收入。为了研究这个问题，我们提供了 1975 年至 2019 年期间来自 45 个国家/地区的一组数据，这些数据通过图形的观点和使用汇总平均组估计量的计量经济学分析进行分析。获得的结果使我们得出结论，有证据支持库兹涅茨的假设，并且需要最低收入水平才能显着观察它。以及今天仍然有明显的欧洲殖民遗产的事实。
