Question

Do you think that present methodology of poverty estimation is appropriate

Answer 1

Heya

Here is your answer

________________

 The present methodology of poverty estimation does not look appropriate. It only takes one  factor in view and that is the economic factor. Moreover it considers about a “minimum”  subsistence level of living rather than a “reasonable” level of living.

 Poverty has many dimensions. It is no longer confined to economic factors alone. With  development, the definitions of what constitutes poverty also changes. Its concept has  broadened to human poverty.

 A few persons may have been able to feed themselves but if they are without education,  without shelter, without health-care, without job security, without self-confidence, without  social equality, they are considered poor.

 If poverty is to be removed in real sense and the people are to be brought above the poverty  line, not only that we need to increase their income but also, we have to provide the people  with education, shelter, health-care, job-security, respect, dignity all.

Answer 2

No, the present methodology of poverty estimation is not appropriate because it takes into account only the basis needs i.e. food, clothing, etc. But the quality of these basic necessities is the lowest quality available, which is not appropriate.
