A joint analysis of poverty and livingstandards was conducted by a technical team from theMinistry of Planning and Finance, Government of Myanmar, andthe Poverty and Equity Global Practice of the World Bank.Poverty has previously been estimated using data from theIntegrated Household Living Conditions Survey conducted in2004/05 and 2009/10. Using this earlier data, poverty inMyanmar has been estimated using two different approaches.Poverty was initially measured by the Government of Myanmarand its development partners using data from IHLCA-I("MNPED et al (2007)" methodology); this firstmeasure of poverty based the poverty line and estimate inthe living conditions of 2004/05. Poverty was estimated tobe 32.1 percent in 2004/05 and was estimated to have droppedto 25.6 percent in 2009/10 (MNPED et al, 2007 and MNPED etal, 2011). A poverty estimate based on 2009/10 standards ofliving was put forward by the World Bank in 2014("World Bank (2014)" methodology), using data fromthe IHLCA-II. The World Bank estimated poverty to be 37.5percent in 2009/10 (World Bank, 2014).
