What does this data set describe?

Title: Ecuador - Poverty 2001
Abstract:
The social information about consume compiled in this shape was taken from the Census of Ecuador (2001 Census), this document is available in the official web page of SIISE (Sistema Integrado de Indicadores Sociales del Ecuador). The information compiled in this shape is the result of geographical information taken from administrative units' maps that were digitized country by country, corrected and adjusted with the digital information of the D.C.W. (Digital Chart of the World). The data are represented in Latitude-Longitude geographical coordinates. The information is presented in two administrative levels that are: first level corresponds Province (Provincia) according to the denomination of this level in this country, and the second level corresponds to Canton (Cantón). The Map source was obtained for the digitization of this information (CIAT) but in some cases the information is not very recent and the administrative division has changed a lot.
