Spatial Disparities in Human Development
- Project name/title
- Spatial Disparities in Human Development
- Year:
- 2002
- Theme:
- Poverty, Inequality and Well-being
- Abstract:
- Many developing and transition countries have considerable regional variation in average household income, poverty, and in health and educational status. National human development indicators can therefore mislead policy-makers when large regional disparities exist. This project will investigate the size and determinants of regional disparities in a representative selection of countries. It will use indicators such as poverty incidence and depth, within-region income inequality, human development, and gender indicators to better understand why some regions fall behind in the development process.
