What is it like to live on a minimum level of income and spending, or with minimum access to social services? To help make sense of that, the World Bank (WB) has periodically published the ‘international poverty line (IPL)’, which calculates the sum of the minimum living costs for food, clothing, and shelter- the latest version (released in 2015) is set at USD 1.90 per capita per day. Laudably, WB’s IPL has allowed us to standardize and compare the phenomenon of absolute poverty across the globe since its inception in 1990. Despite the utility of the global poverty line, this essay questions whether such a simple, numeric benchmark, one that differentiates between the poor and the non-poor population, speaks adequately about the minimum conditions for human living. In this respect, this paper highlights the limitations and problems associated with sticking to this popular choice of the monetary poverty concept and the IPL in perceiving the substance of poverty. Given the methodological bases and data inputs of the measure, it turns out to be a clearly flawed standard of poverty that is neither globally applicable nor up to date. Recent evidence emphasizes the importance of unconventional and other non-income elements of daily necessities (e.g., quality-conscious food consumption; potential to earn or to increase income; access to the internet or mobile phone ownership) that increasingly constitute the essentials of human lives in the developed and developing worlds. Nonetheless, the WB still appears to avoid incorporating other important aspects of poverty into its metrics, in WB’s parlance, at the expense of making clear, context-free, and methodologically consistent estimates of absolute poverty. In this review, however, such claims of statistical clarity and objectivity, albeit partly determined by the data problem, are not solidly warranted.
