DOI 10.1142/s021924621000015x
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

The effects of different state programmes are considered. Based on Household Budget Survey for 2005 the main factors of rural poverty are determined. The dynamic changes in access to utilities and potable water are analysed. Finally, the conclusions and recommendations are given.
