| Summary: | Private businesses and investors can
create markets and accelerate growth for
low-incomecommunities in emerging markets. In doing so, they
benefit from estimates of poverty in thetargeted market
segments they seek to serve. While national household

overly broad for the purposes of private enterprises. Use
ofthe Poverty Probability Index can help businesses improve
their estimates of poverty and therebybetter tailor their
operations and strategies to specific populations. |
