Description:
Abstract:
The Small Area Estimates of Poverty and Inequality dataset consists of spatially referenced consumption-based measures of poverty and inequality for subnational administrative areas of various countries throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. These measures are derived, on a country-level basis, from a combination of census and survey data using small area estimation techniques developed for poverty mapping. The collection of data sets have been compiled, integrated and standardized from the original data providers into a unified, spatially referenced and globally consistent dataset. The data products include shapefiles (vector data), tabular datasets (in comma seperated values format) and centroids (comma seperated values file with latitude and longitude of a geographic unit and associated poverty estimates). Additionally, a data catalog (in Excel format) contains detailed information and documentation on each data set in the collection. The collection is produced by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) in collaboration with a number of external data providers.
Purpose:
To provide highly resolved subnational estimates of poverty and inequality for use by a wide user community for interdisciplinary studies of poverty, inequality and the environment.
Supplemental_Information:
This is the first version (Version 1.0) of the Small Area Estimates data set. If you discover any errors or have any comments regarding the dataset please contact ciesin.info@ciesin.columbia.edu

The Headcount Index: the proportion of the population that is counted as poor. It is often denoted by P(0), where N is the total population, and I (.) is an indicator function that takes on a value of 1 if the bracketed expression is true, and 0 otherwise. So if expenditure (Yi) is less than the poverty line (z) then I(.) equals to 1 and the individual would be counted as poor. Np is the total number of poor.

The Poverty Gap Index: the mean proportionate poverty gap in the population, where the poverty gap (Gn) is the poverty line (z) less actual income (Yi) for poor individuals (the non poor have a zero poverty gap). Some think of this measure as the per capita cost of eliminating poverty (relative to the poverty line), through perfectly targeted transfers to the poor, in the absence of transactions costs and disincentive effects

Attribute:
Attribute_Label: tFGT_2
Attribute_Definition:
The Squared Poverty Gap Index: measures of the severity of poverty for each area. By squaring the poverty gap for each individual/household, this measure gives greater weight to those observations that fall far below the poverty line than those that are closer to it.
