This game compares poverty gap at the national poverty line..

• The value shown is the latest country-year observation available through the source indicator.
• It is a comparison tool, not a total portrait of the place.
• The interesting part is where a simple-looking percentage turns out to be measuring policy, distribution, or institutional stress.

Headcounts tell you how many people are poor. The poverty gap starts telling you how far below the line they are being left.
