Title: Ecuador - Poverty Headcount 1998-2001
Abstract:
Consumo, a nivel de Parroquias 1998 a 2001

La division politico-administrativa del pais cambia frecuentemente con la creacion de cantones y parroquias. El censo de noviembre de 1990 dividia al pais en 172 cantones y 4 zonas no delimitadas. Posteriormente se han creado 42 cantones y mas de 54 parroquias. La informacion censal segun la division politico administrativa de Diciembre de 1998, integra 214 cantones y 4 zonas no delimitadas. El analisis de los cambios ocurridos se han obtenido de distintas fuentes, como el INEC y los Registros Oficiales.
