A comparative needs-based analysis of poverty is presented that allows for cross-country examination. By comparing absolute poverty measurements with existing conventional measures, a new understanding of poverty within the European Union is explored, highlighting that poverty is cyclical and unevenly disturbed across Europe. Issued related to poverty, including food basket development, basket pricing, household compatibility, are also discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book aims to provide a comprehensive account of methodological tools available for the measurement of poverty.

Focusing on individuals' and households' minimum financial needs, absolute measures of poverty are well suited to support adequate social protection schemes and time-consistent social monitoring.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe current open access publication gives a comprehensive overview of the art and science of absolute poverty measurement in an EU-wide context. It summarizes the lessons learnt from the ABSPO exploratory research project carried out by the European Commission, tasked with designing and implementing the first cross-country comparable measurement of absolute poverty in the EU. Presented as a methodological handbook for practitioners and social policy experts, the relevant material covers all aspects of the measurement process and offers a novel framework, innovative methodologies and pioneering data analysis. Taking a decidedly forward-looking and international approach to poverty thinking, ABSPO measurement tools help identify new forms and patterns of social exclusion among European societies that call for further research, improved social monitoring and effective policy action.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eB?lint Menyh?rt\u003c\/strong\u003e is an empirical economist and former research fellow at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZsombor Cseres-Gergely\u003c\/strong\u003e is a policy economist and former research fellow at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVirmantas Kvedaras\u003c\/strong\u003e is an applied econometrician and former research fellow at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenedetta Mina\u003c\/strong\u003e is an economist and former research assistant at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilippo Pericoli\u003c\/strong\u003e is a quantitative economist and former research fellow at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSlavica Zec\u003c\/strong\u003e is a statistician and former research fellow at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eB?lint Menyh?rt\u003c\/strong\u003e is an economist and a former research fellow at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.
