- Summary
- In the UNECE region, countries' approaches to poverty measurement vary significantly. There is a large spectrum of poverty indicators, wide varieties of definitions, methods, thresholds and data sources that are not fully matched by national or international guidelines. This publication provides guidance on applying various measurement approaches and aims to improve the international comparability of poverty statistics. It mainly targets national statistical authorities and provides useful information for policymakers, researchers and other users of poverty data.
