Resumen
Descripción
The objective of the socio-economic
atlas (SEA) for Vanuatu is to present key indicators of the
socioeconomic status of Vanuatu population, at the areas
council level. It allows for comparisons of various
development indicators across various geographical areas.
The atlas has been developed through a consultative process
with various Government agencies and development
organizations. The atlas provides representative
socio-economic indicators at the level of area council
(district), which is the smallest administrative division
unit in Vanuatu. Most of the indicators presented in the
atlas have been derived from the Vanuatu 2009 census data,
which is rich in terms of the development indicators
captured. The content of the census questionnaire defines
the boundaries of what indicators can be presented. The
authors have used small area estimation techniques to derive
estimates of consumption-based poverty and inequality, by
combining the use of the 2009 census data with the 2010
household income and expenditure survey (HIES) data. A
separate technical paper describes the methodology used in
doing this and is available from the Vanuatu national
statistical office (VNSO) and the World Bank. The atlas
includes five key groups of socio-economic indicators for
population. Section A covers the indicators of household
wellbeing in terms of consumption-based poverty rates and
inequality indices. Section B looks at the sources of
livelihoods for households in terms of livestock numbers and
share of households engaged in various economic activities.
Section C focuses on the households' living conditions
by looking at the quality of dwelling, access to water, and
access to electricity. Section D explores education outcomes
and shows percent of adult population with various levels of
schooling. Section E looks at some indicators related to
health status, such as percent of adults who smoke and
consume alcohol. Section F looks at the distribution of
education and health facilities, and roads and tracks in the
national road network.
