IPPA Public Lecture, Bishkek: Predicting Poverty in Kyrgyzstan: A Hierarchical Approach
The Kyrgyz Republic is committed to achieving the sustainable development goals, including the goal of poverty alleviation. In this work, the presenters try to identify which are the individual characteristics and the macro-economic variables, such as GDP per capita and the unemployment rate at a regional level, that contribute the most in predicting the probability of being poor in Kyrgyzstan. A large body of the literature has investigated the main factors that influence the households at-risk of poverty. The central premise is that, the ability of a household to exploit available income-earning opportunities is shaped by its inherent characteristics. For a given household, the probability of being poor is determined by the extent and nature of its participation in the labor market, participation conditioned by the characteristics of the household itself.
