During the 10 year period between 2002 and 2011, as many as 57 countries have zero or only one poverty estimate. This paper refers to such lack of poverty data as “data deprivation,” because the poor are often socially marginalized and voiceless, and the collection of objective and quantitative data is crucial in locating them and formulating policy to help them exit extreme deprivation. This paper studies the extent of data deprivation and proposes targets for ending data deprivation by 2030—the year by when the international community aims to end extreme poverty. According to the analysis in this paper, this target is ambitious but possible, and achieving it is necessary to be able to declare the end of extreme poverty with confidence.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOPREDICTIONSDATA PROCESSINGPOVERTY LINECALCULATIONERRORSTELECOMMUNICATIONINCOMEPOVERTY ESTIMATESPOVERTY RATESNATIONAL POVERTY LINEPOVERTY MONITORINGFINANCIAL RESOURCESINFORMATIONCONSUMPTION DATAPROGRAMSMONITORING DATAMONITORINGSTANDARD MEASUREMENTNATIONAL POVERTYIMPACTSCAPACITY BUILDINGVARIABLESPRICETIME PERIODGLOBAL POVERTYQUALITYSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTPOVERTY MEASURESOPEN ACCESSCOMPUTERECONOMIC SHOCKREGIONPOVERTY REDUCTIONECONOMIC ACTIVITYTIME PERIODSDATATECHNICAL ASSISTANCESAMPLING ERRORSCOORDINATION MECHANISMSTARGETSINTERNATIONAL COMPARISONDATA COLLECTION METHODSWEBHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSINDICATORSDATA ACCESSRESEARCHSOCIAL INDICATORSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTDATABASESUSERSTECHNOLOGYAVAILABILITY OF DATAPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY DATACONSUMPTIONRELIABILITYCLIMATE CHANGETRANSPARENCYPOVERTY REDUCTION PROGRAMPOVERTY MEASUREMENTREDUCTION IN POVERTYRESULTSPURCHASING POWERMETADATAPOVERTY MONITORING EFFORTSTELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEMSMEASUREMENTPRIVATE SECTORCOUNTINGSURVEYSRESULTPOOR POPULATIONREGIONSNETWORKEXTREME POVERTYSTATISTICSRISKHUMAN RESOURCESPOVERTYRURAL AREASSAMPLINGPERFORMANCEGLOBAL STANDARDIMPUTATIONFINANCIAL SUPPORTCONSUMER PRICE INDEXPRECISIONPOVERTY’ DATAREGIONAL TRENDSPOVERTY RATEDATABASEPOVERTY ACROSS COUNTRIESOUTCOMESECONOMIC SHOCKSTARGETPRICESUSESINNOVATIONSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-7252
