Notes:
Poverty incidence among women refers to the proportion of women (belonging to poor families) with per capita income less than the per capita poverty threshold to the total number of women.
* - Coefficient of variation of regional poverty incidence among women is greater than 20%.
p - This is based on the preliminary results of the 2021 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES).
1/ significant change; The increase or decrease in the poverty incidence among women between 2015 and 2018 is significant at 10% level of significance (α = 0.10).
2/ significant change; The increase or decrease in the poverty incidence among women between 2018 and 2021 is significant at 10% level of significance (α = 0.10).
a/ Caution in utilizing the estimate for these regions must be observed due to its very small sample size (<50) in 2015.
b/ Caution in utilizing the estimate for these regions must be observed due to its very small sample size (<50) in 2018.
c/ Caution in utilizing the estimate for these regions must be observed due to its very small sample size (<50) in 2021.

Notes:
Functional difficulty is classified into six core difficulties. The concepts and definitions are based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) of the World Health Organization (WHO).
These difficulties include the following: a) Difficulty seeing even if wearing eye glasses; b) Difficulty hearing even if using hearing aid; c) Difficulty walking or climbing steps; d) Difficulty remembering or concentrating; e) Difficulty with self care; and f) Difficulty
communicating.
Poverty Incidence among persons with functional difficulty refers to the proportion of persons with functional difficulty (belonging to poor families) with per capita income less than the per capita poverty threshold to the total number of persons with
functional difficulty.
* - Coefficient of variation of regional poverty incidence among persons with functional difficulty is greater than 20%.
