Poverty Lines in Theory and Practice Paperback / softback

Part of the LSMS Working Paper series

Paperback / softback

Description

A poverty line helps focus the attention of governments and civil society on the living conditions of the poor.

This paper offers a critical overview of alternative approaches to setting poverty lines.

In reviewing the methods found in practice, the paper tries to throw light on, and go some way toward resolving, ongoing debates about poverty measurement, emphasizing those debates which would appear to have greatest bearing on policy discussions.
