decomposable poverty measures
Definition
- A POVERTY MEASURE is said to be decomposable if the poverty measure of a group is a weighted average of the poverty measures of the individuals in the group. An important property of decomposable poverty measures is that a ceteris paribus reduction in the poverty measure of a subgroup always decreases poverty of the population as a whole.
