The gender-poverty ratio is a measure of the relative poverty of males and females. In 1991 the gender-poverty ratio was 1.30 . This means that women are 30% more likely to be poor than men. The greater likelihood of women's poverty is a result of the interaction of existing patterns of gender inequality with the fact that women earn less than men even in the same occupations.
