Abstract

You’ve probably heard about the poverty line – the amount of money that is often used as the minimum daily amount a person needs to avoid poverty. Sometimes calculated as US$2.00 a day, or US$1.25 a day, this amount is intended to provide a universal way to measure how many people in the world are poor. It is used, for example, by the United Nations to measure the world’s progress in fighting poverty. What you might not realise is that this measure is flawed.
