Abstract
A joint analysis of poverty and living
standards was conducted by a technical team from the
Ministry of Planning and Finance, Government of Myanmar, and
the Poverty and Equity Global Practice of the World Bank.
The findings of the joint analysis are summarized in a
two-part report: Part One puts forward trends in poverty
over time. Annexes include the technical details of the
poverty measurement exercise. This report also makes
recommendations on the need to revise the poverty measure
used to reflect the needs of the population a decade after
poverty was first measured in Myanmar. Part Two
(forthcoming) presents the poverty profile for 2015 based on
the new poverty line.
