Mapping Vulnerability: Extending Static Poverty Maps for Vietnam

Chapter 5 in Vulnerability to Poverty, 2013, pp 115-135 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In recent years, poverty mapping has gained popularity among researchers and policy makers as a powerful tool for identifying pockets of poverty and providing detailed information on regional differences in well-being (Demombynes et al, 2004; Elbers et al, 2007). Poverty mapping has the advantage of combining detailed household data from relatively small surveys that are not representative at the local level with census data which contains only a few key variables but provides complete coverage of households (Elbers et al., 2003). Such maps can be very informative for researchers and policy makers, since they provide poverty estimates at a local level.
