MOOC (Massive Open Online Course)
Poverty comparisons and mapping in the European Union
The course will describe the process of construction of multidimensional indicators of poverty at regional and sub-regional level and the mapping of the results. It is composed of three modules:
Module 1: Multidimensional Poverty and Living Conditions Indicators
Module 2: Laeken Indicators and their computation on pseudo-populations
Module 3: Small Area Estimation
Learning outcomes:
The learning outcomes are:
- knowledge on the main official survey data sources available in Eu to compute multidimensional poverty indicators
- definition of Laeken Indicators and their computation on pseudo-populations obtained by Eu data.
- the Small Area Estimation problem, the estimation of the main Laeken indicators by simple/basic Small Area Estimation methods
- mapping of the results and interpretation of the estimates and of the associated Confidence Intervals
