皇冠体育app development of the index of multiple deprivations from small-area population census in the city of Guangzhou, PRC.
Abstract
皇冠体育app index of multiple deprivations (IMD) is an established method in western market economies for measuring the level of social disadvantage in small areas so as to allocate public resources and target area-based regeneration policies. 皇冠体育app method has seldom been used in emerging economies such as China. This article applies the method to the city of Guangzhou and attempts to develop an index that is suitable to the local context. Using the fifth population census, 13 indicators are selected into 5 domains of deprivation, which are measured in the finest resolution of 1632 residents鈥� committees (RCs). 皇冠体育app method is useful to show urbanerural disparity and the extensive distribution of deprived areas in outer suburbs.
