This symposium critically examines methods of measuring poverty in developed countries, including the UK and the USA. It is suggested that official ‘poverty rates’ are highly unrealiable. The effect of welfare benefits on poverty levels is also discussed. By encouraging self-defeating behaviour, benefits may actually promote destitution.
