As noted earlier, households may be classified as not experiencing deprivation of any sort or as exhibiting deprivation in terms of at least one of 13 different indicators. This translates into a reduction, in relative terms, from 68.9% to 62.1% of the urban population. This means that, in the space of just five years, the percentage of the population that is not living in poverty jumped from 31.8% to 37.9%, thanks to the country’s recent progress in socioeconomic terms. The percentage of households experiencing deprivation as measured by six or more indicators was so small as to be statistically insignificant, and the results for deprivation as measured by 10 or more indicators were nil.
