The word suggests that individuals or groups who are in poverty have to be helped to change their conditions. The eradication of this poverty problem has now become the primary focus of the socio-economic development polices of developing world governments. There is therefore the need to have a clue to identify the poor, tools to measure the depth of their poverty which will then assist policy makers to assess their policy impact.
