Each year's poverty figures are anxiously awaited by policymakers, analysts, and the media. Yet, questions are increasing about the 30-year-old measure as social and economic conditions change. In "Measuring Poverty", a distinguished panel provides policymakers with an up-to-date evaluation of: concepts and procedures for deriving the poverty threshold, including adjustments for different family circumstances; definitions of family resources; and procedures for annual updates of poverty measures. The volume explores specific issues underlying the poverty measure, analyzes the likely effects of any changes on poverty rates, and discusses the impact on eligibility for public benefits. In supporting its recommendations the panel provides insightful recognition of the political and social dimensions of this key economic indicator. "Measuring Poverty" will be important to government officials, policy analysts, statisticians, economists, researchers, and others involved in virtually all poverty and social welfare issues.
