Reassessing Poverty Thresholds: A Comprehensive Analysis of Quantitative Indicators

This study presents a detailed analysis of various quantitative poverty indicators and their threshold implications. Utilizing data from SHIREE, HIES, and PRCPB, it employs probit and OLS regression models to assess extreme poverty and per capita expenditure. Key findings focus on household distribution by size, land ownership, non-land assets, electricity access, sanitation, and employment status of household heads. The analysis culminates in identifying three critical indicators—land ownership, non-land assets, and employment status—essential for pinpointing extreme poverty.
