When collecting data on individual consumption, only part of the goods - for example, adult clothing, alcohol or tobacco - can be assigned to specific members of the household. It is less easy to measure how much of the food or household common goods (such as housing, water supply or sanitation) is consumed or used by each individual household member. Women have higher poverty rates than men in most of the countries in the region for the upper poverty line (60 per cent of the median equivalized income).
