Food insecurity

The percentage of people in the population who live in households classified as moderately or severely food insecure. A household is classified as moderately or severely food insecure when at least one adult in the household has reported to have been exposed, at times during the year, to low quality diets and might have been forced to also reduce the quantity of food they would normally eat because of a lack of money or other resources.

Agricultural Economics: countries where more than 30% of the population is employed in the agricultural sector. Pixels with a value higher than the specified threshold (30%) were given a value of 1 (YES response) Employment is defined as persons of working age who were engaged in any activity to produce goods or provide services for pay or profit, whether at work during the reference period or not at work due to temporary absence from a job, or to working-time arrangement. The agriculture sector consists of activities in agriculture, hunting, forestry and fishing sectors. **Data revision:** 2021-01-29 **Citation:** International Labour Organization, ILOSTAT database.

Access to electricity: areas where the access to electricity is higher than 80%. Pixels with a value higher than the specified threshold (80%) were given a value of -1 (YES response) Access to electricity is the percentage of population with access to electricity. Electrification data are collected from industry, national surveys and international sources. **Data revision:** 2022-01-13 **Contact points:** Contact: [DataBank](mailto:data@worldbank.org) The World Bank Metadata contact: [OCB Environment](mailto:OCB-Environment-List@fao.org) FAO-UN **Resource constraints:** license **Online resources:** The World Bank - DataBank World Development Indicators

The IPC Classification System distinguishes and links acute food insecurity, chronic food insecurity and acute malnutrition to support more strategic and better coordinated responses. The protocols used by the IPC are harmonized across the three individual scales (IPC Acute Food Insecurity, IPC Chronic Food Insecurity, and IPC Acute Malnutrition). This allows for the analysis of linkages between the three conditions and the possibility of detangling acute food insecurity, chronic food insecurity and acute malnutrition, in support of a more strategic response analysis. This dataset shows data for __Chronic food insecurity (Current - Rural)__ **Data creation:** 2020-09-22 **Contact points:** Resource Contact: [IPC](mailto:IPC-Tech-Support@fao.org) Metadata Contact: [Melanie Rabier](mailto:melanie.rabier@fao.org) **Resource constraints:** This work is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC-BY-4.0) **Online resources:**

National poverty headcount ratio is the percentage of the population living below the national poverty line(s). National estimates are based on population-weighted subgroup estimates from household surveys. For economies for which the data are from EU-SILC, the reported year is the income reference year, which is the year before the survey year.
