We certainly got what we paid for.

What happened, he ask you to close this thread rather than admit he made an error?
Seemsl like govenrment propaganda to me.... I bet u there are MUCH more people living on 527 US or less... 20-25 percent maybe?
So I guess there is 0% of the population that earns between USD$316 and USD$527?
Let me use my old math.....10.4 +30.6 +13 +26 +13 +5 +2 =100% Where does the USD$316 to USD$527 populaton fall in this 100% of the population? A simple question requiring a simple answer. Either they account for 0% of the population or somebody made an error.
Pichardo, why don't you just RE-DO the table, and add the correct % to each bracket... instead of all the clutter you are throwing at us ... in ANY and every country, when they do stats, they make brackets and do not make gaps ... sum all the brackets up to 100% and be over with it, PLEASE!
Eating at home - I'm not trying to sound like a diva (or Obama when he complained about the price of arugula haha) but it's pretty simple - if you eat local fare, then it's cheaper. But if you want to maintain the same diet you had at home - feta cheese? Angus steaks? HP Sauce? A1 Sauce? Habanero Tobasco? etc, it's all imported, and close to double the price in the States.

I did, too, PICHARDO, in hard subjects. And I have difficulty in deciphering your post.Because I did my homework to get my Diploma from School and University +, I didn't spent my time in frat parties or pushing by...
If they can't understand such simplistic economic breakdown, then by all means they should go get a second opinion on that HS/College diploma from the first world nations....
We live very well at around $2000mo. Very well.
In spite of being a self-professed economist, Pichardo even violates the economics axiom "Figures don't lie, but liars figure". In his case both the figures and the figurer are frauds.OR,he surely would have learned the Three,"Basics Laws Of Statistics"!!!

There are only three kinds of statistics:
#1. Lies.
#2. Lies.

His "Contract"(Read,"AGENDA"!) as chief "SPIN DOCTOR" for "Leonel",and the "PLD", requires him to only use #3.in all public "presentations".

No one asked about the delta brackets due to fluidity of classification. They asked for basic, raw numbers =/- 5%. Should be easy.
Why the USD$316 to USD$527 gap? Because this is the amount that would not entail a HH to be able to support a low income lifestyle long term, nor would it spell poverty long term for the same HH as the fluidity of their HHI peaks of drops over the long term.
..
Et tu, Brute?
Let's go the primary and elementary way here on this for all of you!
The claim is that there's a whole block of HHs missing from the USD$316 or less to live like 10.4% of HHs in poverty (notice here that this one does not includes a "to" as maximum breakpoint by definition of where it breaks "breakpoint" to the next level, but only informs where they drop and can be identified as "poor" with HHI economic classification based on the table for all the levels included in the report) to the next level where USD$527 to 922 to live like 30.6% of Low income HHs is denoted and clearly identified the break "breakpoint" onto the next economic level assigned in the report.
If notice is paid when reading the report breakdown for each level of HHI, it can be seen with ease how both the "Poor" and the "Low" income HHs breakdowns are the sole ones assigned a fraction of a % instead of a whole value. This fraction of the % represents the "fluidity of classification" based on the impossible task of identifying a given % of households either fully or partial to each level. The fraction % assigned indicates what's upheld by the economic data of which breakpoint pole accounts for the most HHs with people moving closer or falling back to each of those levels (0.6% and 0.4% as detailed).
Having income above USD$316 for a HH will not take it a notch above in their reported HHI level, but until they can reach and keep that pole breakpoint of USD$527 satisfactorily and long term. For the same reasons a HH that's identified as Low income (USD$527 to 922) will not fall into the poverty level by just losing some income temporarily from their pole breakpoint of USD$527. If however they continue to present an economic delta in their bracket that reduces along a given time span and dips below the USD$316 pole breakpoint, the family HHI is then demoted and classified as "Poor".
There's no USD$316 to USD$527 HHI level, as this would be unthinkable from the perspective of a biz that relies on sound economic data to offer products to investors seeking a clear long term map of support to their plans in a given area of the DR. For any market sector to offer such lineal solution as you guys paint here, that would be as accepting such social modifiers employed by social institutions when despicting such social-economic breakdowns as extreme poverty/poor/low income/etc...
From our type of biz there's no such thing as extreme poverty and poor, there's simply the "Poor" HH that's struggling and catered to by only a minimal niche within the investment sector.
A HH that's not able to constantly maintain and support a HHI above USD$316 each month in the DR is identified as "Poor".
A HH that's able to constantly maintain and support a HHI of USD$527 each month in the DR is identified as "Low Income".
Where are the people that make in between USD$316 and USD$527 each month and therefore can't be fully assgined as whole of the "Poor" or of the "Low Income"? 0.4% is struggling to better their situation towards Low Income, and 0.6% is struggling not to fall back to below the pole breakpoint for the "Poor".
If then you can add, you can see there's 100% accountability for all the people in their income levels as well as those that will forever remain in between the pole breakpoints to each above or below.
The HH are accounted for using a liberal formula to denote where their in-between lies stronger, rather of where they firmly stand at.
The economic pole breakpoints are static on the report and represented uniformly in the other levels when compared to the "poor" to the "low income" gap, because by reasoning of their own material and economic means these levels are strongly supported in their status brackets. A low income HH that faces economic trouble when they dip below their minimum income, can resort to selling property, turning values held, getting loans, pawning, etc... Until their level of income improves over a longer span of time unlike what a low income HH falling below their minimum pole breakpoint can do, not to mention a poor HH...
The "gap" or missing income you see is nothing more than the fluidity of the pole breakpoints between the poor and the low income in the DR. The poverty level can go from bad to very, very bad depending on how low your HHI falls. Even if your HHI peaks above USD$316 but floats below constantly from USD$527, your conditions are that of poverty. The same happens to the low income HH, where they can upkeep a living quality condition that affords them a basic number of services at or above the pole breakpoint indicated as for their HHI level. They could dip from time to time, but this will not make the home fall into poverty long term, just face constraining aftereffects temporarily until their HHI picks up again in the short term.
Why the USD$316 to USD$527 gap? Because this is the amount that would not entail a HH to be able to support a low income lifestyle long term, nor would it spell poverty long term for the same HH as the fluidity of their HHI peaks of drops over the long term.
By all means if you want to find out first hand how the USD$316 and USD$527 came about, try to make a living with a budget in between those two amounts and see where your quality of life brackets you economically in the DR...
This makes no sense in English and in fact would equate to a failing grade in HS English. Please post in Spanish and I will take a copy to the office of Mercadotecnica at PUCMM and see what they would say.
