This paper reviews the debate
opposing the absolute and relative approaches to monetary
poverty measurement. The arguments for combining both
approaches into a single “overall” monetary poverty measure
are introduced. The most salient proposals of hybrid poverty
lines are presented. Then, the reasons why specific poverty
indices may be required when a hybrid line is used are
discussed. The class of hierarchical poverty indices is
described, focusing in particular on the hierarchical
headcount ratio. |
