Chapter 6 in Research Handbook on Measuring Poverty and Deprivation, 2023, pp 60-69 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Global poverty is a fundamental indicator in monitoring the world’s social progress. This chapter reviews the main issues arising in such measurement since its origin in the World Bank’s publications. Comparison with the parallel process of measuring poverty in the European Union provides further insights on the measurement in supranational entities.
