Purpose of the Measure
Purpose: To carefully and accurately measure the
incidence and extent of poverty in Nigeria,
specifically by region for targeting and policy
purposes
Explanation: Regional disparities
Unit of Analysis
Household
Explanation: Ideally, the individual would be the unit
of analysis. Due to data constraints and variables
which stem from intra-household relations, our
measure will use the household.
Motivation: Regional Disparities
