摘要

Everyone has the right to a living income, but there are still around 500 million smallholder farmer households that live on less than US$2 a day. Something needs to change. People have been trying to measure and tackle poverty for decades, so why reframe the issue now by measuring living income?And there's an important distinction between living income and poverty. Poverty lines are generally concerned with subsistence; decency and resilience underpin the concept of living income. It's about earning enough to live a decent life with a buffer for the unexpected.
