equivalence scales  

Définition(s)

  • CAN THE NUMBER OF U.S. dollars that a family receives on a regular basis accurately measure its standard of living? What if it is a single parent and one child? Or 14 children living with a grandmother, three adult sisters, and an elderly great-uncle? What if one of these families lives in Paris and the other on a family farm in Indonesia? Or Hawaii? Are their human needs the same? An equivalence scale is a tool to consider these variables. On the surface, counting the poor would seem to be a rather simple procedure.
