Example

Let consider first the case in which there is a common poverty line, taken for illustration to be equal to half average
needs-adjusted income, and decompose poverty by tenure subgroups.

. local z = .5*'meanz

. povdeco eybhc [fw=wgt], pl('zz) by(tenure)

Warning: eybhc has 20 values < 0. Used in calculations

Total number of observations = 6468

Weighted total no. of observations = 55851705
Number of observations poor = 1327
Weighted no. of obs poor = 11336320
Mean of eybhc amongst the poor =    86.711

Mean of poverty gaps (poverty line - eybhc) amongst the poor =    29.798
