Usage Guidance

This metric is intended to capture the total gross margin earned by, or commission paid to, individual low income distributors.
The population classified as low income includes all those who fall below a fixed threshold and is inclusive of those classified as poor or very poor. Due to the complexities of assessing the poverty level of distributors, organizations will likely have to use specific assessment tools to report on this accurately. See the glossary definition for additional information on commonly used tools to help determine the absolute poverty level of individuals and households.
