15 Οκτ 2024 · In 2018, the World Bank report Piecing Together the Poverty Puzzle broadened the ways we define and measure poverty, by: Presenting a new measure of societal poverty, integrating the absolute concept of extreme poverty and a notion of relative poverty reflecting needs across countries.
An objective poverty line is one based on some objective metric, such as consumption or income. An absolute poverty line is one which is fixed in terms of living standards (or welfare). Example: cost of a bundle containing “basic commodities”, however defined. Note 1: ‘fixed’ is a false friend.
How poverty is defined and measured varies across the world. The national poverty line for a country is typically a monetary threshold below which a person's minimum basic needs cannot be met, taking into account the country's economic and social circumstances.
This paper proposes a new method for defining absolute poverty that avoids the many problems of the World Bank’s line and which makes a more robust tool for measuring extreme poverty on a global basis. The statistical origins of the World Bank Poverty Line (WBPL) give rise to many of its difficulties.
There are two main approaches to income poverty. These two approaches capture different facets of income poverty, but formally, they only differ by the type of poverty line they use. First, the absolute approach captures basic needs satisfaction, e.g., nutrition and clothing.
