Summary

Specific Features of Research of Problems of Poverty

The problem of poverty, abject poverty, definition of its criteria and borders are so actual that it is possible to say that many other problems are reduced to it. In medicine the most powerful tool when studying poverty is the mortality indicator, which in the beginning was used for the analysis of health of population, but was gradually transformed to a poverty exponent. Another tradition of study develops on the basis of use of social indicators of human opportunities as a broader tool in understanding of poverty. The most exact and the most used, though not quite adequate tools, in her opinion, are the analysis of distribution of the income and mortality indicators Their main shortcoming – impossibility to measure all the aspects of poverty [9]
