Menu of Options for Intra-Household Poverty Assessment

摘要

The report offers a preliminary assessment of gender-sensitive intra-household poverty tools and provides recommendations for further research and pilot-testing to develop such tools. This report aims to complete the following: review the literature on intra-household inequality; provide a critical assessment of the existing literatures ability to measure intrahousehold dynamics accurately and at low-cost; and, identify potential approaches for practical, applicable measures that could augment the existing Poverty Assessment Tools instruments to address intra-household inequality and poverty.
