Discuss How Poverty Is Measured Using The Three Indicators Of National Poverty Lines
i) Briefly discuss how poverty is measured using the three indicators of national poverty lines, the poverty line of $1.90/day using PPP, and the multi-dimensional poverty index. How do these ways of measuring poverty differ?
(ii) Select a developing country for which you can obtain data for both the $1.90 income poverty line and the multi-dimensional poverty index. Discuss the levels of poverty in the country according to both indices, and discuss reasons for any differences between the levels of poverty based on the two measures. In terms of development of policies to address poverty, which of these measures do you think is more useful, and why?
