Resource information
The report starts with an overview of
poverty and inequality estimates in chapter one, focusing on
the trends in poverty and the distributional pattern of
growth between 2002-3 and 2012-13. Chapter two then provides
a description of the poverty profile by geographical and
household characteristics, both in terms of the levels of
poverty and its rate of change. Consumption patterns are
presented in chapter three, and other socio-economic
characteristics describing the living conditions of
households are presented in chapter four, which is then
followed by a chapter detailing the conclusions that can be
drawn from this initial poverty profile analysis. The
annexes provide additional detail. Annex one provides a
detailed technical explanation of the methodology for
measuring poverty while annex two presents sensitivity
analysis for the poverty estimates including the confidence
intervals of these estimates. Annex three provides
additional tables and figures on poverty and inequality
including other measures of poverty.
