Marginality Hotspots Bangladesh, 2005-2010

Overlapping Marginality Dimensions in Bangladesh. Methodology see also: Graw, V. and C. Ladenburger. 2012. Mapping Marginality Hotspots - Geographical Targeting for Poverty Reduction. (ZEF Working Papers 88). Indicators: Per capita income (HIES 2010, cut-off-point: least 3rd quantile) Under-five child mortality: DHS Survey 2008 (cut-off-point: least 3rd quantile) Accessibility: Nelson 2008; cut-off-point: more than 3 hours distance) Gender: Difference of men and women in eduction; secondary school complete and higher: DHS Survey 2008 (cut-off-point: least 3rd quantile) An overlay was created with the above mentioned indicators based on the respective thresholds. Those areas where most indicators - with low performance - overlap were ranked as those areas experiencing highest marginality. Purpose: This map was constructed within the MARGIP project aiming at identifying the poor and marginalized by finding areas with marginal performance in proxy indicators representing different spheres of life (based on the publication Gatzweiler et al. 2011: http://www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10419/88402/1/772782253.pdf).
