Poverty Headcount Ratio at Societal Poverty Lines: % of Population data was reported at 48.000 % in 2019. This records a decrease from the previous number of 48.600 % for 2016. Poverty Headcount Ratio at Societal Poverty Lines: % of Population data is updated yearly, averaging 58.000 % from Dec 1989 (Median) to 2019, with 10 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 67.900 % in 1999 and a record low of 46.200 % in 2012. Poverty Headcount Ratio at Societal Poverty Lines: % of Population data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Uganda – Table UG.World Bank.WDI: Social: Poverty and Inequality. The poverty headcount ratio at societal poverty line is the percentage of a population living in poverty according to the World Bank's Societal Poverty Line. The Societal Poverty Line is expressed in purchasing power adjusted 2017 U.S. dollars and defined as max($2.15, $1.15 + 0.5*Median). This means that when the national median is sufficiently low, the Societal Poverty line is equivalent to the extreme poverty line, $2.15. For countries with a sufficiently high national median, the Societal Poverty Line grows as countries’ median income grows.;World Bank, Poverty and Inequality Platform.
