Glossary of Terms

Food threshold - the minimum income required for a family/individual to meet the basic food needs, which satisfies the nutritional requirements for economically necessary and socially desirable physical activities Income Gap - the average income shortfall, expressed in proportion to the poverty threshold, of families/individuals with income below the poverty threshold Poverty gap - the total income shortfall (expressed in proportion to the poverty threshold) of families/ individuals with income below the poverty threshold, divided by the total number of families/ individuals

Notes: The difference between the income gap and the poverty gap is the use of number of poor families/ individuals as denominator for the income gap. For the poverty gap, the total number of families/individuals is used.

Poverty incidence - the proportion of families/individuals with per capita income less than the per capita poverty threshold to the total number of families/individuals Poverty threshold - the minimum income required for a family/individual to meet the basic food and non-food requirements Notes: Basic food requirements are currently based on 100% adequacy for the Recommended Energy and Nutrient Intake (RENI) for protein and energy equivalent to an average of 2000 kilocalories per capita, and 80% adequacy for other nutrients. On the other hand, basic non-food requirements, indirectly estimated by obtaining the ratio of food to total basic expenditures from a reference group of families, cover expenditure on: 1) clothing and footwear; 2) housing; 3) fuel, light, water; 4) maintenance and minor repairs; 5) rental of occupied dwelling units; 6) medical care; 7) education; 8) transportation and communication; 9) non-durable furnishings; 10) household operations; and 11) personal care & effects.

Severity of poverty - the total of the squared income shortfall (expressed in proportion to the poverty threshold) of families/ individuals with income below the poverty threshold, divided by the total number of families/ individuals Notes: This is equal to the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT) family of measures with alpha = 2. It is a poverty measure, which is sensitive to the income distribution among the poor – the worse this distribution is, the more severe poverty is.

Subsistence incidence - the proportion of families/individuals with per capita income less than the per capita food threshold to the total number of families/ individuals
