5. Explanation of PPP in World Development Report 2008 • PPP gross national income is GNI converted into international dollars using purchasing power parity (PPP) conversion factors, is included. Because exchange rates do not always reflect differences in price levels between countries, this table converts GNI and GNI per capita estimates into international dollars using PPP rates. PPP rates provide a standard measure allowing comparison of real levels of expenditure between countries, just as conventional price indexes allow comparison of real values over time. The PPP conversion factors used here are derived from the 2005 round of price surveys covering 146 countries conducted by the International Comparison Program. For OECD countries, data come from the most recent round of surveys, completed in 2005. Estimates for countries not included in the surveys are derived from statistical models using available data.

6. From Income Poverty to Human Poverty • ‘Income Poverty’ can be measured basically by income and/or expenditure (PPP) at the household level. • Which is better, income or expenditure? • One argument is to consider the intra-household inequity in distribution of goods and services. • Another argument is to consider the living standardor quality of life enjoyed by each household or individual. • Various aspects of living standardor quality of life Nutrition, education, health (including reproducing health, infant health, etc.), safe water, sanitary, access to electricity, security, protection from risk or shock, dignity in the society, … • Based on arguments by Amartya Sen
