Abstract: This paper presents a global perspective on infrastructure coverage and the poor that many people will think they have seen before but in fact have not. It is widely assumed that the poor in developing countries have fewer infrastructure services than middle and upper- income households, but there is surprisingly little information on the actual empirical relationship between household income and infrastructure service coverage in different countries.
