| Summary: | The April 2022 update to the newly
launched Poverty and Inequality Platform (PIP) involves
several changes to the data underlying the global poverty
estimates. Some welfare aggregates have been changed for
improved harmonization, and the CPI, national accounts, and
population input data have been updated. This document
explains these changes in detail and the reasoning behind
them. Moreover, a large number of new country-years have
been added, bringing the total number of surveys to more
than 2,000. These include new harmonized surveys for
countries in West Africa, new imputed poverty estimates for
Nigeria, and recent 2020 household survey data for several
countries. Global poverty estimates are now reported up to
2018 and earlier years have been revised. |
