Mathematical Formulation of Poverty Index: How We Measure Poverty in Different Nations Around the World

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 various articles joined by a common theme of poverty. The high point of the book is that, while it can definitely be used by researchers to advance their research topic, it can also be easily understood by a general reader. It is hoped that the readers from various cross sections of the society will find the book interesting.
