Sammanfattning
The world has witnessed a remarkable reduction in poverty over the past decade by any commonly used poverty measure. Progress has been made to improve incomes, health and access to education, globally. These average achievements have not been equally shared: countries, regions and populations within countries have been left behind. There is thus
wide agreement that poverty persists in many parts of the world, but the understanding of which groups are still living in poverty depends on two crucial issues of measurement: first, which indicator is being used; second, the thresholds used as the poverty lines for those indicators.
