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. |

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 FILE TYPE The file is in comma separated variable format (csv). This is a tabular data format that can be used in spreadsheet, database and GIS applications. FIELDS For a description of available fields, for a given country and administrative level, please see the Small Area Estimate Datasets catalog available at http://www.ciesin.columbia.edu/povmap/ds_info.html MISSING DATA Blank spaces in fields indicate missing data values. POVERTY LINE The following is a summary of the poverty line(s) used by data providers in the construction of poverty estimates: Morocco Currency: Dirhams Value: The values are: 2 poverty lines delineated by rural and urban area of residence. For the rural areas, the poverty line is 3037 per capita per year, whereas for the urban areas, the poverty line is 3922 per capita per year. (From Lanjouw P. (2004). The Geography of Poverty in Morocco: Micro-Level Estimates of Poverty and Inequality from Combined Census and Household Survey Data) Alternate Poverty Line: None
The nominal year of reference for the poverty estimate, based on the input Census year.
