This period was marked by economic and political volatility which adversely impacted the country's capacity to achieve some of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). The lack of progress in indicators related to maternal and child health and combating HIV/AIDS and other diseases continues to be of concern. However, in comparison to other low-income countries, non-monetary indicators of poverty in the Kyrgyz Republic fare relatively well in such areas as health, education, and access to basic infrastructure services. The report finds that at the micro-level the leading factors associated with poverty are household demographic characteristics. Larger and younger households with relatively fewer income-generating members and more net consumers, such as children, are more prone to poverty. Female-headed households have lower consumption per capita all other things held equal.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSOLUTE POVERTYABSOLUTE POVERTY LINEABSOLUTE TERMSACCESS TO DRINKING WATERACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESACCESS TO MARKETSACCESS TO SERVICESAGGREGATE POVERTYAGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIESAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL SECTORANNUAL % GROWTHANNUAL GROWTHANNUAL GROWTH RATEANTI-POVERTYBASIC INFRASTRUCTUREBENEFICIARY HOUSEHOLDSCALORIES PER PERSONCALORIES PER PERSON PER DAYCHANGES IN POVERTYCHILD MORTALITYCHILD MORTALITY RATESCONSUMER PRICE INDEXCONSUMER PRICESCONSUMPTION AGGREGATECONSUMPTION BASKETCONSUMPTION EXPENDITURECONSUMPTION EXPENDITURESCONSUMPTION GROWTHCONSUMPTION PER CAPITACONSUMPTION QUINTILESCORRELATES OF POVERTYDECLINE IN POVERTYDEVELOPMENT GOALSDEVELOPMENT INDICATORSDIMENSIONS OF POVERTYDISTRIBUTION FUNCTIONDIVERSIFICATIONDRINKING WATERECONOMIC CRISESECONOMIC DOWNTURNSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIC SHOCKSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPLOYMENT STATUSENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYEQUAL RIGHTSEXTREME POVERTYEXTREME POVERTY LINEEXTREME POVERTY LINESFAMILY MEMBERSFARMING ACTIVITIESFEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDSFINANCIAL CRISESFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL SECTORFOOD COMPONENTSFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD EXPENDITUREFOOD EXPENDITURESFOOD ITEMSFOOD NEEDSFOOD POVERTYFOOD POVERTY LINEFOOD PRICEFOOD PRICESFOOD PRODUCTSFOOD SECURITYFOREST AREASGINI COEFFICIENTGINI INDEXGLOBAL PARTNERSHIPGROWTH RATEGROWTH RATESHEADCOUNT RATIOHEALTH CAREHEALTH EXPENDITUREHEALTH EXPENDITURESHIGH INFLATIONHOUSEHOLD BUDGETHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD HEADSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSINGHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RIGHTSINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCIDENCE OF POVERTY AMONG HOUSEHOLDSINCOMEINCOME GAPINCOME INEQUALITYINDICATORS OF POVERTYINDUSTRIAL SECTORINEQUALITYINEQUALITY DYNAMICSINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATESINSURANCEINTERNATIONAL POVERTY LINELABOR FORCELIFE EXPECTANCYLIVING STANDARDSLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMATERNAL HEALTHMATERNAL MORTALITYMEAN EXPENDITUREMEAN GROWTHMEASUREMENT OF POVERTYMEATMILKNATIONAL POVERTYNATIONAL POVERTY LINENON-INCOME DIMENSIONSNON-POOR HOUSEHOLDSNUTRITIONOBLAST LEVELPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPER CAPITA GROWTHPOLITICAL INSTABILITYPOLITICAL STABILITYPOLITICAL VOLATILITYPOORPOOR CHILDRENPOOR FAMILIESPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR LIVINGPOOR PEOPLEPOOR POPULATIONPOORER HOUSEHOLDSPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY CHANGESPOVERTY DATABASEPOVERTY DYNAMICSPOVERTY GAPPOVERTY GAP INDEXPOVERTY GROUPSPOVERTY HEADPOVERTY HEADCOUNT RATEPOVERTY INCIDENCEPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY LEVELPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY MAPPOVERTY MEASURESPOVERTY POLICIESPOVERTY PROFILEPOVERTY RATEPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY SEVERITYPOVERTY STATUSPOVERTY THRESHOLDPOVERTY UPDATEPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIVATE TRANSFERSPRO-POORPUBLIC SECTORREAL EXCHANGE RATEREDUCTION IN POVERTYREDUCTION OF POVERTYREFORM EFFORTSREGIONAL DIFFERENCESREGIONAL DIMENSIONREGIONAL DISPARITIESREGIONAL PATTERNSREGIONAL TERMSRELATIVE PRICESRUNNING WATERRURALRURAL AREASRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL INCOMESRURAL LABORRURAL LABOR MARKETRURAL PHENOMENONRURAL POORRURAL POVERTYRURAL RESIDENCERURAL RESIDENTSRURAL WELFARESANITATIONSAVINGSSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOLINGSELF-EMPLOYMENTSHEEPSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SPENDINGSQUARED POVERTY GAP INDEXSTRUCTURAL REFORMSSUBSISTENCETARGETINGUNDERSTANDING OF POVERTYUNEMPLOYMENTURBAN AREASURBAN POVERTYVEGETABLESVULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDSWAGE EMPLOYMENTWATER SOURCESWELFARE INDICATORWELFARE MEASUREWorld Bank10.1596/16075
