| dc.description.abstract | In Callan, Hannan, Nolan and Whelan (1989), the ESRI team attempt to defend the use of "relative income thresholds" as measures of poverty. The argument here will be that there is a lack of correspondence between the definition of poverty the ESRI team propose (Callan et ai., 1989,p. 362) and the measures they advocate; that disposable income is not sufficient as an indicator of poverty; and that, as Sean Barrett (1989) has suggested, "relative income thresholds" are measures of inequality, not of poverty. | en |
