Our World In Data (OWID) LIS Data Explorers Updated!
We are pleased to announce that the Our World in Data (OWID) Data Explorers based on the LIS databases have been updated to incorporate the December data splash additions and revisions.
In particular, this update reflects the adoption of the 2021 PPPs provided by the World Bank * used in the computation of the relevant indicators, and a slightly improved methodology when computing indicators related to percentile thresholds, shares, and their associated average values.
The OWID explorers are expected to be updated quarterly, in line with the LIS data releases.
Our World in Data (OWID) builds an extensive dataset of inequality and poverty indicators, pulling together multiple sources to provide as comprehensive a view as possible.
To make it easier to navigate this wide range of data, they provide a set of Data Explorers that allow users to explore a very detailed range of indicators on Poverty, Inequality, and Incomes across the distribution. OWID provides three explorers that draw from the LIS Databases:
Information about the definitions and methods behind the data is provided here.
* Datasets without corresponding 2021 PPPs are excluded from the Poverty and Incomes Across the Distribution Explorers (Taiwan and the 2022 Russia dataset) .
