Distribution of poor population in developing countries, based on stunting among children

 ISO19115/19139 XML

Identification info
Title  Distribution of poor population in developing countries, based on stunting among children
Date  2010-10-20T13:27:00
Date type  Publication: Date identifies when the resource was issued
Edition  First
Presentation form  Digital map: Map represented in raster or vector form
Abstract  Chronic child malnutrition (stunting among children under 5 years of age) represents a good proxy of rural poverty and food insecurity (FAO 2008 and FAO 2003) and, by overlaying stunting rate and population density, this map aims at showing poor population distribution (person/sq km) in developing countries.
