Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper examines the distribution of welfare in Uganda in 1997. The data used was obtained from a household survey conducted by the Economic Policy Research Centre (EPRC) in the first quarter of 1997. The analysis of the data focused on the distribution of welfare as measured by household consumption expenditures. It also focused on the attributes of the poor and the very poor households and on the characteristics of their component members. The major findings of the analysis are that the poor are predominantly found in the rural areas, are less educated, have large household sizes, and are primarily agricultural workers. They lack basic services and amenities and have very low levels of expenditure. Inequality levels are high in Uganda as shown by the summary Measures of Inequality. Across regions we also see some divergence in welfare distribution and it is conclusively clear that welfare is unequally distributed in Uganda. The poor are sharing very little of the benefits of growth, while the rich are enjoying the greatest share of the benefits.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
