所有贫穷措施的主要问题是需求和贫穷标准的来源和地位。拒绝最低生活或准绝对的贫困定义方法，接受贫困的社会相对主义，从逻辑上要求剥夺指标同样来自所涉社会，而不是由“专家”为其规定。本文回顾了贫困与贫困区别的政策含义，并讨论了建立“共识”贫困衡量方法的两种主要经验方法：收入代理法和贫困指标法。文章还区分了基于社会学的贫困线和基于政治的社会保障标准，概述了它们之间的理论和方法关系的一些重要方面。
ABSTRACT The principal problematic issue in all poverty measures is the source and status of the standards of needs and deprivation. Rejection of minimum subsistence or quasi-absolute approaches to defining poverty, and acceptance of the social relativism of poverty, logically demand that the indicators of deprivation equally be derived from the society in question and not be prescribed for it by ‘experts’. The paper reviews the policy implications of the distinction between deprivation and poverty, and discusses two principal approaches to empirical methods of establishing ‘consensual’ measures of poverty: the income proxy method and the deprivation indicator method. The paper also distinguishes sociologically-based poverty lines from politically-based social security scales, outlining some important aspects of the theoretical and methodological relations between them.
