Global poverty monitored by the World
Bank for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is
reported only at the national level, lacking a breakdown
between urban and rural areas. A key challenge to producing
globally comparable estimates of urban poverty is the need
for consistent definitions of urban areas and poverty. This
note illustrates an innovative approach to integrating
globally consistent urban and poverty measurements to
estimate urban poverty statistics that are directly
comparable across countries. Two approaches to quantifying
urban, the Degree of Urbanization and the Dartboard
approaches are applied in seven case countries. By combining
these delineations with official household budget survey
data, poverty is estimated with international poverty lines.
The empirical illustrations demonstrate that the proposed
approach is potentially useful to improve the monitoring of
global poverty. |
