Résumé

In order to have a good overview of poverty in Europe, we need both a clear definition and an appropriate measurement of poverty. Defining and measuring poverty is important for different reasons, such as the identification of the poor, understanding the magnitude of poverty, and the proper targeting and evaluation of anti-poverty policies (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, 2017).
The definition and measurement of poverty is however complex, and varies over time and across geographical areas.
