Title: Recent Developments in Poverty Measurement
Author(s): Daniel Weinberg*+
Companies: U.S. Census Bureau
Address: HHES Division, Washington , DC, 20233-8500,
Keywords: poverty
Abstract:

A 1995 National Academies of Science panel report recommended substantial changes in the way the United States measures poverty. The Census Bureau (and others) have carried out substantial research since then in support of a process that may lead to changes in the the way the Office of Management and Budget defines poverty. This roundtable luncheon will update participants on the current status of that research.
