| Summary: | The Poverty Mapping in
the European Union (EU)
project, an initiative of the
World Bank and European
Commission (EC) in cooperation
with EU member
states, has developed a set of
high-resolution poverty maps
by using information from
recent national population
censuses and household income
surveys to estimate the
rates of monetary poverty for
small geographic areas in EU
member states. This disaggregated
information can help
guide allocations of EU funds
to the areas in highest need
as well as inform decision
making
and policies at the
national and sub-
national
levels in each of the EU member states. |
