Measuring poverty.

HORNER, Simon

Measuring poverty. - 1994

Looks at the links between human development and poverty. Highlights two definitional problems: (1) what constitutes 'basic needs', and (2) what information is used to measure poverty. In recognition of these limitations, the UNDP has devised the Human Development Index.
