The Government of the Philippines defines major terminology of poverty measurement as follows: ... * “Poverty Incidence”: The proportion of families/individuals with per capita income/expenditure less than the per capita poverty threshold to the total number of families/individuals.
•Result
As a Result ,After outlining some of the main limitations of poverty line studies, the paper explains how the deprivation approach addresses these weaknesses and illustrates the insights that deprivation studies can provide into the nature of poverty in contemporary. It then compares the results produced by a deprivation approach with those produced using a poverty line – both in terms of what they imply about the extent of the problem and who they suggest is most affected by it. The comparisons demonstrate that the reservations that many hold about poverty research can be overcome and that when this is done, the results become more compelling and thus have the potential to have a greater impact on anti-poverty policy.
