So the PNC are responsible for poverty in 2006? You're a funny one
It stated that 33.7 per cent of young people aged 16 to 25 years lived in poverty in 2006, while almost half of all children aged 16 and below were poor (47.5 per cent) in 2006. It indicated that data on child poverty was not disaggregated for different ethnicities, regions and/or areas of the country.

Poverty in Guyana has a child’s face – UNICEF concludes
Oct 05, 2016 News 0 Comments
This deduction was made after consideration was given to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita which suggests that Guyana’s poverty situation follows what obtains in Haiti and Nicaragua.
The forgoing is contained in a recently launched Situation Analysis of Women and Children Report that was completed by the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF).
The analysis was carried out between 2015 and 2016 by Government through the Ministry of Social Protection, with support from a number of partners. Technical support was provided by UNICEF.
It is expected that the analysis will pave the way for the systematic monitoring of the situation of children and women living in Guyana.
According to the Report not only is unemployment high but it is particularly disconcerting for the young population, which represents more than 60 per cent of Guyana’s population. “Since 2002, youth unemployment has been consistently higher than 30 per cent and is currently estimated to be about 40 per cent,” the Report outlines.
Guyana’s latest official poverty measurement was done in 2006, prior to the economic crisis that hit the world in 2008. According to that measure, 36.1 per cent of the population in the country was living in poverty, including 18.6 per cent that were living in extreme poverty.
And the Report has been able to ascertain that “poverty is higher in the interior of the country, and for those families living in the rural areas including rural in the coast.”
In fact the Report has concluded that “Poverty in Guyana has a child’s face.”
Similar to previous measurements, the poverty number from 2006 shows that younger age cohorts have a significantly higher poverty headcount than older ones. It has been revealed, too, that 33.7 per cent of young people aged 16-25 lived in poverty in 2006. Almost half of all children aged 16 and below were poor (47.5 per cent) in 2006.
Guyana, according to the Report, is susceptible to a variety of hazards including flooding, landslides, drought, fires, and severe weather systems, among others. Between 1990 and 2014, floods were the main natural disaster that happened in the country and primarily responsible for deaths.
Flooding was found to be common in the coastal areas and in the interior of the country. In the coastal area, an extensive sea defence system of sea walls and dams is the main defence against inundation of the coastal plain due to heavy rainfall, overtopping of the river networks, and breaches in the conservancies or seawall.
In the interior, heavy rains and the abundance of rivers create the conditions for constant increases in the water levels. Natural disasters create an extra stress on public finances and significant impact on homes, businesses and human life. In this sense, almost 94 per cent of the negative impact in the country’s economy resulted from past floods.
The country has a body of legislation that protects the rights of children, women and other vulnerable populations. Some of the legislation is considered to be updated and in line with international standards.
Nevertheless, the implementation of the legislation was identified as one of the major bottlenecks in the country for the three main sectors related to children (health, education and child protection).
The data is taken from the worldwide UNICEF MICS survey which was done in 2006.

UNICEF report highlights impact of migration on families
A REPORT compiled by the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) revealed that mass emigration of Guyanese due to failures in the job market creates devastating social and economic effects and has resulted in broken families, brain drain and an estimated 8% loss of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).The report on the 2016 Guyana Situation Analysis of Children and Women (SitAn), a document compiled through a cooperative effort between UNICEF and Government of Guyana, was handed over to First Lady Sandra Granger and Minister of Social Protection, Volda Lawrence at a special ceremony at the Herdmanston Lodge Wednesday.
The report was prepared with the objective of supporting the new government in its development and implementation of national strategic plans and programmes. The goal of the report is to “advance the realization of the rights of development of Guyanese children with a strong equity focus on the most vulnerable children and their families.”
The report noted that 422, 000 Guyanese live in other countries and while this relocation contributes to the country’s economy through the influx of remittances, such high emigration is influenced by “lack of internal economic opportunities, indicating failures in the job market.”
“On one hand, the influx of remittances is an important factor for the country’s economy and represents an informal safety net for many families. On the other hand, high emigration is influenced by lack of internal economic opportunities, indicating failures in the job market. On the economic side, this brain drain creates losses of around 8% of the country’s GDP. On the social side, emigration breaks families and force children to live far from one or two parents.”
The report said despite Guyana’s good GDP performance, in taking into consideration the GDP per capita, the country remains the third poorest in the Western Hemisphere, after Haiti and Nicaragua.
“Unemployment is high, and it is particularly concerning for the young population, which represents more than 60% of Guyana’s population. Since 2002, youth unemployment has been consistently higher than 30% and is currently estimated to be about 40%.”
The country’s last official poverty measurement was done in 2006, even before the world was hit by economic crises in 2008, and according to that report, some 36.1% of the population was living in poverty and 18.6% were living in extreme poverty.
“Poverty is higher in the interior of the country, and for those families living in the rural areas … Poverty in Guyana has a child’s face. Similar to previous measurements, the poverty number from 2006 shows that younger age cohorts have a significantly higher poverty headcount than older ones.”
It also disclosed that 33.7% of young people between ages 16-25 lived in poverty in 2006, and 47.5% of children below the age of 17 were poor.
Doesn't this conflict with the US position that Guyana is now an upper mid-income nation? The fact that Guyanese are no longer a major visa violation risk and the US giving many Guyanese holiday visa is a testament to this.
These reports need to be taken in context. What matter is the actions and behavior of the masses. The fact that Guyanese (until 2015) were no longer risking everything to flee says a lot. The fact that Guyanese are once again (past year) seeking to leave in droves, well that's for the PNC to address!

Of course Guyana was on the recovery by 1992, as Hoyte reversed the Burnham initiatives, which had been enthusiastically endorsed by Cheddi.
Did Cheddi protest the nationalization of the economy? No! In fact he screamed that Bookers should have also been nationalized, and if course this is what Burnham eventually did.
Just be glad that the death of Burnham, Hoyte reforms, and the end of the Cold War blocked Janet for converting Guyana into a Castro satellite.

The data in Guyana is quite easily gathered given the small population. Hence the 2016 report which clearly offers a referendum on the incompetent PNC regime that has ruined the nation in a short year and a half.

Listen idiot in the USA most data comes from sample sizes using sophisticated statistical methodologies
Your PPP took the 2012 census, and wasn't even able to release the data in full by 2015. And this is something as easy as counting how many Indians, Africans, Amerindians and others live in Guyana, and in what regions.
More indepth data collection and analysis takes even longer. Do you know anything about data collection?
This is 2014 data which shows that under the PPP massive poverty existed. And why the shock as unskilled and impoverished Guyanese flocked to Saba to do what ever the locals on that island don't want to do. Others flocked to Montserrat, breathing in noxious volcanic fumes.
It takes a truly desperate person to do all of this.
