MESURES DE LA PAUVRETE : UNE REVUE DE LITTERATURE DE L’EXISTANT

Abstract

This research paper is part of an essay in development economics, through a retrospective that traces the evolution and dynamics of the concept of poverty. Indeed, it has been much in the news since it is still a major challenge for policy makers in both rich and poor countries.Thus, the objective of this research paper is to make a state of place of all the approaches developed to approximate poverty and its determinants, while demonstrating its multidimensionality and the complementarity of the criteria of identification and measured. It is in this sense that the treatment of the subject was done through a theoretical exploitation and a synthesis of the existing in order to apprehend, to identify and subsequently to act in order to eradicate the problematic of the poverty.
