Abstract
This report presents findings from a
joint analysis of poverty and living conditions in 2015,
conducted by the Ministry of Planning and Finance and the
World Bank Group. The report draws upon the Myanmar Poverty
and Living Conditions Survey (MPLCS), fielded in early 2015.
Part one of the assessment reviews poverty trends based on
previous poverty measurement methodologies used in Myanmar
and recommends that the method for measuring poverty is
revised to reflect standards of living in 2015. Part two
presents the poverty trend and profile based on a new
poverty measure.
