Сравнение методологических подходов к измерению уровня бедности

Abstract

The paper reviews the current methodological approaches to the poverty measuring: absolute, relative, subjective, deprivation, etc. Special attention is paid to the differences in poverty level and demographic profile of poor households, which appear as a result of application of different measuring approaches. The author comes to conclusion, that combination of different approaches to poverty assessment makes our perception of poverty in our country more complete and stereoscopic.
