totally fuzzy and relative poverty measures
Definition
- THE MOST COMMON way to measure the prevalence of poverty in a region is to count the number of persons living in households that have incomes below a predetermined income level. This income threshold is known as a poverty line, and the percentage of the population that falls below this poverty line is referred to as the poverty rate or, in technical terms, the headcount index.
