Trabajan metodología para calcular niveles de pobreza

The National Institute of Statistics (INE) collaborates with the World Bank to refine Guatemala’s poverty measurement using 2023 survey data, ensuring that the results reflect national realities and align with international standards. This approach focuses on monetary poverty, defined by household consumption of food and non-food items, rather than income. Accurate poverty lines are essential for transparent policy-making and effective resource allocation. By adopting rigorous, globally comparable methodologies, the state enhances the reliability of its social indicators, fostering accountability and improving the targeting of anti-poverty programs. This update is crucial for open data initiatives, as it improves the quality and comparability of public statistics. Transparent, standardized data empowers researchers and citizens to analyze inequality effectively, promoting informed public debate and stronger evidence-based advocacy for social justice and development.
