Going back to that UN Rapporteur, some interesting points in this little thread about the number of people who are “destitute”.https://twitter.com/philjvtaylor/status/1064245061553139712 …

Had a look at the report and technical report. There are definitely criticisms you could direct at the methodology, but those are not among them

If you want to criticize the figures, I'd say the biggest issue is in the nationalization of the estimate. They do report a wide confidence interval (+-20%), but that's misleading because the reality is it is all down to the model's assumptions, not variance in distribution

It’s not a trad confidence interval for sure but an attempt to show degree of uncertainty based on data sources and method

Yeh that's fair, I'd just say that the confidence or lack thereof is based on the assumptions. If any of them are off, the true figure could be very different, so a 20% estimate is a bit arbitrary. Not unfair, but that's because the figure is challenging to calculate
