This volume addresses issues arising from the definition and
measurement of poverty in terms of nutritional status. A high
degree of nutritional deprivation is considered to be an indicator
of poverty. Hence the definition of an appropriate nutritional
yardstick and its measurement are of crucial significance for
determining the level and magnitude of poverty. The book also
debates energy related deprivation and evaluates the respective
merits of making comparisons of calorie intake against an average
reference standard and making comparisons of anthropometric
measurements of the body with some reference standard. Gender bias
in the incidence of nutritional deprivation is also considered.
Contributors: Sudhir Anand, J. R. Behrman, Roderick Floud, Robert
W. Fogel, C. Gopalan, Christopher Harris, Nank C. Kakwani, S. R.
Osmani, P. R. Payne, and T. N. Srinavasan.
