Measuring poverty persistence

Alessio Fusco and Philippe Van Kerm

Chapter 18 in Research Handbook on Measuring Poverty and Deprivation, 2023, pp 192-200 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter reviews the literature on the measurement of poverty persistence. The review has two parts. We first cover the literature on poverty persistence indicators which develops “principled”, descriptive summary measures. We then review the econometric literature which teases out the determinants of poverty persistence. Finally, we describe the challenges and limitations the literature on poverty persistence face.
