Poverty and inequality in Vietnam: Spatial patterns and geographic determinantsCitation: Inter-Ministerial Poverty Mapping Task Force, 2003,
This report uses a relatively new method called "small area estimation" to estimate various measures of poverty and inequality for provinces, districts, and communes of Vietnam. The method was applied by combining information from the 1997-98 Vietnam Living Standards Survey and the 1999 Population and Housing Census.
