Armenia has achieved impressive economic growth and poverty reduction since the late 1990s. The country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has grown at an astounding annual rate of over 11 percent since 2002. The main objectives of Armenia poverty are: (i) to inform policy making at lower administrative levels by providing poverty and inequality rates at smaller geographic areas than it is currently possible with the available data sources; and (2) to build local capacity to develop and update poverty maps, particularly in the National Statistics Services of the Republic of Armenia (NSSA). The report is helping exploit the strengths of household survey and census population data. The country's GDP the measures of poverty and inequality to understand relative poverty in different geographic regions and communities. The results of poverty mapping do not adequately represent the poverty rates at the community level in rural areas, as most rural communities of Armenia tend to be small. The report focuses on the predictions of welfare at the rayon administration level, it also provide estimates for marzs as well as for the whole country to compare census based predictions with those estimates that are obtained directly from the 2004 Integrated Living Conditions Surveys (ILCS).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO MARKETSAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSALLOCATION OF RESOURCESANTI-POVERTYARABLE LANDBASIC EDUCATIONCAPACITY BUILDINGCENSUS OF POPULATIONCITIZENSCONSUMPTION AGGREGATECONSUMPTION EXPENDITURESCORRELATES OF POVERTYCOVARIANCE MATRIXCURRENT POVERTYDATA SETSDECLINE IN POVERTYDECOMPOSABLE POVERTYDECOMPOSABLE POVERTY MEASURESDESCRIPTIVE STATISTICSDETERMINANTS OF POVERTYDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT POLICYDIMENSIONS OF POVERTYDISSEMINATIONDISTRIBUTIONAL OUTCOMESEARTHQUAKEECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESECONOMIC PERFORMANCEEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEMPLOYMENT STATUSERROR TERMESTIMATES OF POVERTYEXPLANATORY VARIABLESEXPORT MARKETSEXTREME POVERTYEXTREME POVERTY LINEFAMILY POVERTYFARM TECHNOLOGIESFARMERSFOOD BASKETFOOD SECURITYFOOD SHAREGEOGRAPHIC POVERTY TRAPSGINI COEFFICIENTGROWTH ELASTICITYHEADCOUNT POVERTYHEADCOUNT RATIOHEALTH FACILITIESHIGH CONCENTRATIONHIGH POVERTYHIGHER INCIDENCE OF POVERTYHOUSEHOLD COMPOSITIONHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD LEVELHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHOUSEHOLD WELFAREHOUSINGHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOMEINEQUALITYINEQUALITY DATAIRRIGATIONLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETSLABOUR MARKETSLAND QUALITYLAND SIZELARGE POPULATIONLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLIVESTOCK DEVELOPMENTLIVESTOCK OWNERSHIPLIVESTOCK POPULATIONLIVESTOCK SECTORLIVING CONDITIONSLIVING STANDARDSLOCAL CAPACITYLOCAL GOVERNMENTSMEASURING POVERTYMEATMIDDLE EASTMODEL SPECIFICATIONSNATIONAL CAPACITYNATIONAL LEVELNATIONAL LEVELSNATIONAL POVERTYNON-POOR HOUSEHOLDSNORMAL DISTRIBUTIONNUMBER OF ADULTSNUMBER OF CHILDRENNUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDSNUMBER OF WOMENPENSION INCOMEPENSIONSPER ^ CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPER CAPITA EXPENDITUREPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY INTERVENTIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOORPOOR COMMUNITIESPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR PEOPLEPOOR PERSONPOOR POPULATIONPOPULATION CENSUSPOPULATION DATAPOPULATION SIZEPOTENTIAL USERSPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY ASSESSMENTPOVERTY ASSESSMENTSPOVERTY ESTIMATESPOVERTY HEADCOUNT INDEXPOVERTY HEADCOUNT RATESPOVERTY IMPACTPOVERTY INCIDENCEPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY LEVELPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY MAPPOVERTY MAPPINGPOVERTY MAPPING EXERCISEPOVERTY MAPPING METHODOLOGYPOVERTY MAPSPOVERTY MEASUREMENTPOVERTY MEASURESPOVERTY POVERTYPOVERTY PROGRAMSPOVERTY RATEPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCINGPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION EFFORTSPOVERTY REDUCTION PROGRAMSPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESPOVERTY SEVERITYPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIVATE TRANSFERSPROGRAMMATIC POVERTY ASSESSMENTPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC SUPPORTQUANTITATIVE MEASURESREDUCTION IN POVERTYREFORM EFFORTSREFORM PROGRAMSREFUGEEREMITTANCESREMOTE RURAL AREASRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRURALRURAL AREASRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL DIFFERENCESRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL INFRASTRUCTURERURAL PHENOMENONRURAL POPULATIONRURAL POVERTYRURAL POVERTY RATESSEA LEVELSECONDARY EDUCATIONSELF-EMPLOYMENTSEXSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL CAPITALSOCIAL PROTECTIONSPATIAL DISTRIBUTIONSTANDARD DEVIATIONTARGETINGTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETRANSPORTATIONUNEMPLOYMENTURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSURBAN COMMUNITIESURBAN COMMUNITYURBAN POPULATIONURBAN POVERTYWELFARE MEASUREWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/7637
