The international community's commitment to halve global poverty by
2015 has been enshrined in the first Millennium Development Goal.
How global poverty is measured is a critical element in assessing
progress towards this goal, and different researchers have
presented widely-varying estimates. The chapters in this volume
address a range of problems in the measurement and estimation of
global poverty, from a variety of viewpoints. Topics covered
include the controversies surrounding the definition of a global
poverty line; the use of purchasing power parity exchange rates to
map the poverty line across countries; and the quality, and
appropriate use, of data from national accounts and household
surveys. Both official and independent estimates of global poverty
have proved to be controversial, and this volume presents and
analyses the lively debate that has ensued.
