WHAT IT SHOWS

What you can learn from it

Published 2010 household wealth-concentration analysis, including national top-tail comparisons and separate rural/urban wealth-share evidence from the World Bank working-paper version.

WHY NO PERSONAL RANK?

Why it stays Explore-only

The working-paper version publishes concentration and share statistics rather than a monetary P10–P90 boundary ladder. Later 2018 article revisions contain different concentration values and are not silently imported into this source lineage. Concentration statistics are useful Explore context but are not percentile cutoffs.

RIGHTS / SOURCE NOTE

How WORTH99 uses it

The World Bank working-paper version is CC BY 3.0 IGO for aggregate statistics actually published in that version. Later article/accepted-manuscript values are a separate version-and-rights lineage and are not treated as World Bank-cleared facts. The underlying Malawi IHS3 microdata remain separately restricted.

PRODUCT BOUNDARY

Browseable does not mean rankable.

WORTH99 keeps useful wealth evidence visible even when the source cannot support a defensible personal percentile. This page does not invent missing assets, liabilities, household distributions or percentile thresholds.
