There are 4 ways of measuring poverty Those are 1 Headcount index 2 Total poverty gap 3 average poverty gap and 4 normalized Poverty gap How are they useful in measuring poverty and is there any diffe?

You're really mixed up eh? Works like this. - Yp is absolute poverty (relative term meaning insufficient daily funds to meet basic human needs) - H is headcount, amount of people below poverty gap. - We use these two to measure a very large amount of values, APG being the most useless imo. - TPG: Total amount of daily income required to pull those in absolute poverty to the required minimum. Sum of (I don't know how to write sigma for you statisticians) (Yp-Yi) so the sum of the difference between each individual and the poverty gap -APG: TPG/N, so just the total poverty gap spread over the population, seems stupid to me. -NPG: APG/Yp so the average poverty gap normalized with the poverty gap, always gives a value between 0 and 1 so this is usefull to compare countries. - AIS: Average income shortfall, this ones usefull. TPG/H, spread over the poor rather than the entire population. Its how much, on average, each absolutely impoverished individual requires to escape to the minimum level of absolute poverty. -NIS: Normalized Income shortfall, AIS/Yp, again normalized to ease comparison. Theres also the oft used Foster0Greer-Thorbecke indexe, measurements of inequality among absolute poverty using CV or Gini concentration ratio and the human poverty index but those are all bitches to write out so look em up yourself.
