Levy Economics Institute of Bard College, Working Paper #600, May 2010, online edition, 38p (PDF)
"The devastating human, economic, and social consequences of poverty have been long recognized and, as a result, national and international commitments for remediation have been a part of the development discourse for over three decades. All along, it has been crucial to identify poverty thresholds and socioeconomic characteristics of those who fall below that datum. This has been considered particularly important because data collected over time sheds light on how effective poverty reduction strategies are and on how to improve the design of interventions in accordance to the demographic characteristics of the population they are meant to serve."
Research scholar Rania Antonopoulos is director of the Gender Equality and the Economy program at the Levy Institute. Research associate Emel Memis is a professor of economics at Ankara University specializing in macroeconomics, gender and economic development, and feminist economics.
