Funded Activity Summary

An Integrated Framework for Developing Credible Indicators of Deprivation and Other Distributional Markers. The existing instruments for measuring poverty have become disconnected from the life events that cause poverty and the deprivation experienced by those with low income. A new approach is needed that is focused on how low-income, deprivation and joblessness produce unacceptable outcomes, particularly for children. Community concern over the growing ?rich-poor divide? suggests that poverty research must also be better integrated with issues of affluence and inequality. This innovative program will develop an integrated conceptual and empirical framework for identifying poverty, deprivation and other dimensions of inequality, and use it to derive new social monitoring instruments and policy evaluation tools.
