The Sociology monograph on "Mathematical Formulation of Poverty Index: How we Measure Poverty in Different Nations around the World", is a conglomeration of articles by different authors working in different areas such as: Sociology, Engineering, Economics etc. Each one of the authors listed in this book has a solid research background, as evidenced by their research publications, and is well known for his/her contribution in their own field. Since poverty is of general interest- to academicians (involved in teaching and research) as well as pure researchers, the book is an optimal blend of va

Kuklys examines how Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen’s approach to welfare measurement can be put in practice for poverty and inequality measurement in affluent societies such as the UK. Sen argues that an individual’s welfare should not be measured in terms of her income, but in terms what she can actually do or be, her capabilities. In Chapters 1 and 2, Kuklys describes the capability approach from a standard welfare economic point of view and provides a comprehensive literature review of the empirical applications in this area of research. In the remaining chapters, novel econometric techniques are employed to operationalise the concepts of functionings and capability to investigate inequality and poverty in terms of capability in the UK. Kuklys finds that capability measurement is always a useful complement to traditional monetary analysis, and particularly so in the case of capability-deprived disabled individuals.
