It is not limited to consumption poverty however, as other dimensions of living conditions, including health, education, water/sanitation, etc. are reviewed. Its core objective is to provide information on levels and trends in key indicators of well-being, and their correlates, with a view to inform public policy decisions. In terms of format, the Poverty Profile reviews the following issues in turn: Poverty and Inequality (Section 2); Demographic Characteristics of Households (Section 3); Economic Activities of Households (Section 4); the Labour Market (Section 5); Housing, Water and Sanitation (Section 6); Health and Nutrition (Section 7), Education (Section 8) and Conclusion (Section 9).
