Abstract: This working paper proposes to examine the questions of poverty in the specific contexte of the DRC and in this dynamic, 2 techniques allowing the dissection of the poverty in its multiple dimensions have been used : The Alkir&Foster techniques and that of fuzzy sets, in order to determine the characteristics of poor households, the causes and the scope (incidence, intensity and depth) of that poverty. The author has looked at the singularity of the DRC by proposing an archetype of indicators that is able to build a poverty index that best embodies the particularity of this region. It also brings in the notion of inequalities in order to broaden the sphere of réflexion around this phenomenon.
