Ways to Measure Poverty
Do some research into other ways to measure poverty. Some of you should look at the Multidimentional Poverty Index . Others may be interested in how the EU measures poverty. If you are interested in very poor countries you might want to look at how the World Bank set poverty lines .
For this post, share an alternative measure of poverty and make an argument about why that might be a good way to measure poverty. Multiple students can talk about the same method, but you should not have the same argument – your argument should be original.
Comment on at least two of your classmate’s postings either extending or critiquing the post.
