Abstract
The analysis of measurement and determinants of poverty and its relationship to food security and nutritional outcomes have become a major area of investigation by household welfare analysts. We present a detailed analysis of the poverty and welfare in the United States, Cambodia, Europe and India. This chapter introduces various approaches to identifying the poor, measurement of poverty, construction of poverty lines and deriving various measures of poverty including headcount index, poverty gap index and squared poverty gap index. Poverty lines are calculated using food energy intake and cost of basic needs approaches. Analysis of determinants of poverty using binary logistic regression is also demonstrated. Interpretation of the results of logistic regression for deriving policy implications is given.
