Population living in extreme poverty
Source: UN Women, UNDP and the Frederick S. Pardee Center for International Futures https://data.unwomen.org/publications/insights-action-gender-equality-wake-covid-19
Note: The F/M ratio is derived from the following: (the number of women in poor households / Number of men in poor households) / (Total number of women / Total number of men) * 100. Sometimes called the ‘femininity index’, this measure is equivalent to the ratio between the poverty rate of women over the poverty rate of men and is used instead of the poverty headcount to account for skewed sex ratios, especially across certain age groups. Any interpretation of these ratios at the country level must be accompanied by a close review of the relevant extreme poverty rates/levels. This is crucial because in countries with low levels of overall extreme poverty any difference in the poverty rates by sex will, by the nature of the low base values, appear large. See Technical Note for further details.
