Abstract:
This digital map shows the geographic distribution of poverty in Vietnam based on small area estimates from househould survey and census data. The resulting district-level poverty estimates suggest that the incidence of poverty is highest in the remote northern and central highlands and lowest in the south-east and in large urban centres. However, mapping the density of poverty reveals that most poor people do not live in the poorest districts but in the two lowland deltas, where poverty incidence is intermediate. |

Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog adds hints indicating which FGDC elements are mandatory; these are shown with gray text.
This digital map shows the geographic distribution of poverty in Vietnam based on small area estimates from househould survey and census data. The resulting district-level poverty estimates suggest that the incidence of poverty is highest in the remote northern and central highlands and lowest in the south-east and in large urban centres. However, mapping the density of poverty reveals that most poor people do not live in the poorest districts but in the two lowland deltas, where poverty incidence is intermediate.
The Vietnam poverty map advances poverty and food security methodologies and provides policy-makers with information for designing actions to reduce poverty.

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.

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

The Gini Coefficient is a measure of inequality and is derived from the "Gini Mean Difference" which is a measure of risk or variability. The Gini coefficient is a measure of the degree to which a population shares the resources unequally. An index of income inequality ranging between 0 (for perfect equality) and 1 (for absolute inequality). It is defined as the ratio of the area between the Lorenz curve (a cumulative frequency curve that compares the distribution of a specific variable with the uniform distribution that represents equality) and the perfect equality line to the area between the lines of perfect equality and perfect inequality.
