Notes
The wealth index is a composite indicator of wealth. To construct the wealth index, principal components analysis is
performed by using information on the ownership of consumer goods, dwelling characteristics, water and sanitation, and
other characteristics that are related to the household’s wealth.
The wealth index is assumed to capture the underlying long-term wealth through information on the household assets, and
is intended to produce a ranking of households by wealth, from poorest to richest. The wealth index does not provide
information on absolute poverty, current income or expenditure levels.
