Poverty incidence (Philippines)

[edit]

Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Generic

DescriptionPoverty incidence is the proportion of households with per capita income/expenditure less than the per capita poverty threshold to the total number of households. It is computed by the Philippine Statistics Authority as described in this link. In layman terms, this is the percentage number of households that declared income below the poverty threshold in a particular populated area (city/ municipality/ province/ region) in Philippine Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES). This survey is done every three (3) years.

Motivation

[edit]

This information is already available in English wikipedia as manual entry in infoboxes. We hope that the creation of this property would be used in other Wikipedia language projects. This property is different from HDI as it has a different computation. Exec8 (talk) 10:52, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

[edit]

@Ijon, Bodhisattwa, Gnangarra: it's unclear to me why you use the support template when there isn't yet a proposal that looks the way you want to support. ChristianKl15:18, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Then I'll explain: I support the proposal as it stands. Additionally, I think (but haven't done the research to be certain) that a generic property could be created, potentially making this Philippines-specific property unnecessary. My comment was meant to raise the possibility, but also signal I am not volunteering to do the research it would take to determine whether a generic property is practical or whether there would be so many cases where it would be inapplicable that it would be confusing to have a seemingly-generic property. If you do have the time and inclination to do that research, by all means do it and share your thoughts with us. If not, and no one else does either, I support creating this property, so that this data, that has a volunteer ready to add using it, can be added to Wikidata soon.

my explanation: the proposal is sound, the property is valid for the data set. Like the others have suggested I see the potential for there to be consideration of something more generic as its a similar data type for many countries. To make a common unit of measure(UOM) will take further research as to what is the best UOM to use and how to convert all UOM to a universal format. None of those thoughts should stop the proposal from going ahead, perhaps one for each country with their actually UOM will be the better way to go.
