Estimations for four points in time starting from 1990 to the latest available year, use microdata from the Household Surveys Databank of the MECOVI Program and definitions of indicators from the United Nations for monitoring the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Indicators are disaggregated by income quintile, gender, urban/rural area and race/ethnicity to help identify discrepancies in the achievement of development goals within different groups of population. Statistical significance and methodological details on definitions, methods of calculation, relevant facts about sources of information and complete access to the programs for calculating the indicators are included throughout the website. |
