Abstract: The subjects of poverty, inequality, and population are integral to the study of human development. Poverty and taxation, distribution of wealth and deprivation, the nexus between poverty and child labour, age- and sex-composition of the population are all significant questions that demand both rigorous measurement and careful analysis in the assessment of a society's process of development. The ability to obtain meaningful answers to these questions is frequently determined by the ability to measure the categories of poverty, inequality and population. What is required is both conceptual clarity and empirical relevance. This combination of the formal elements of measurement and the substantive elements of development is a key feature of this book.
