This subreddit is for posting information about famous people who had a significant impact on the world and were born today, and their achievements. Posts should link to relevant information about the person.

Friends, family, or self-listing is not allowed and posts specifying non-famous or slightly famous beings with limited verifiable impact on the world and/or its history will be removed. In general, N.S. (new style or Gregorian) dates are used.

Please do not down-vote the posting of famous figures because you dislike the famous figure (unless you feel the person is too insignificant to appear in the list), since both good and evil personalities who affected the world will be documented. It is suggested that if you dislike the famous (or perhaps infamous) person, then provide a comment linking to or discussing their shortcomings. You are certainly welcome to down-vote or up-vote based on whether you think their appearance in the list is justified.

Dynamics of Poverty in Chile

This paper uses the 1996–2001 National Socioeconomic Survey panel database to analyse poverty dynamics in Chile, drawing a distinction between chronic and transient poverty. We found that while 20 per cent of the population was living below the official poverty line both in 1996 and 2001, only 9 per cent of the population was poor at both dates. We also found that when the poverty line was raised, the amount of households which could be considered chronically poor rose steadily, whereas the transitory component of poverty remained more or less stable. Analysis of the direct reasons for changes in household poverty status leads us to the conclusion that labour dynamics are far more relevant than demographic changes. Household heads who suffered health problems are significantly less likely to leave poverty. Household human and physical capital are also relevant, as well as the sector in which the household head works. Simulating this exercise using different poverty lines reveals that some variables are not robust to changes in the definition of poverty, while others which originally appeared to be insignificant become so for most other possible poverty lines.

Born today is broken by Reddit devs

Recent disabling of Reddit search features by Reddit devs has broken many Reddit bots that maintained Reddit subreddits. /r/Borntoday is posted by an automated script from the years of posts I and other contributors created in previous years . However the new search engine does not have search features that allow this to work any longer. /r/Borntoday will resume if there is ever a workaround that provides this previous Reddit capability.
