Measuring Deprivations in the Slums of Bangladesh : Implications for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals

Patel, Amit; Joseph, George; Shrestha, Anne; Foint, Yaeli (2019-06-10)

Approximately 880 million people, or one in four urban residents, live in slums today. While this enumeration is useful, it is not a trivial exercise to estimate slum population for a city, let alone globally, especially when the definition of a slum remains a debatable construct. To demonstrate this point empirically, ...

Approximately 880 million people, or one in four urban residents, live in slums today. While this enumeration is useful, it is not a trivial exercise to estimate slum population for a city, let alone globally, especially when the definition of a slum remains a debatable construct. To demonstrate this point empirically, we utilize a household survey from nine cities in Bangladesh and provide three different ...
