Poverty comparisons - such as whether poverty has increased, or
where it is greatest, are typically clouded in conceptual and
methodological uncertainties. How should individual well-being be
assessed in deciding who is poor? Is a household survey a reliable
guide? Where should the poverty line be drawn, and does the choice
matter? This monograph surveys the issues that need to be
considered in answering these questions, providing an accessible
introduction to the most recent literature. The strengths and
weaknesses of past methods are discussed, and a summary of
methodological recommendations is given. A number of new analytical
tools are described which can greatly facilitate poverty
comparisons, recognising the uncertainties involved.
