Interesting map...although I can't say I understand completely how it works...it's somewhat confusing. However, I'm heartened by some of the explanatory notes that accompany the map. It appears that a relative poverty line type of measurement is not used or is not the main standard of measurement, and this is positive. Rather, the real indicators of poverty appear to have been employed: "Altogether 39 indicators describing various quality-of-life factors, such as state of health, nutrition, educational services, etc, were used." ------------------------ Yahoo!
