Abstract
In order to design a poverty reduction intervention, an implementing agency needs to be clear about their definition of poverty, and the way in which the rate of poverty is to be measured. Development work is becoming increasingly ‘evidence based’ (for example, the British government’s Department for International Development Poverty and Social Impact Analyses are ex-ante studies examining the likely social and poverty related impacts of a particular policy change), and there is a growing body of work that estimates distributional affects of interventions,i alongside growing emphasis on humanitarian work being based on sound empirical grounds. An important aspect of this is how we define and measure poverty has important implications for targeting and policy. For example, a monetary approach (see below) implies increasing money incomes of individuals and families, whereas a capability approach requires concentrating efforts on ensuring individuals’ access to public services. Poverty levels in a country – and in a community – will differ according to how it is measured. For example, in India, 38% of adults are in monetary poverty, whereas 52% of adults are in capability poverty.ii
