food-ratio poverty line
Definition
- A PRIVATE CONSUMPTION-BASED method of determining poverty, food-ratio lines draw from the proportion of a household's money that is spent on food to calculate official poverty levels. It is a method, though alternately used by various nations, to distinguish between the poor and nonpoor on an estimated basis of what ratio of a household's income is spent maintaining a sustainable diet.
