Category: Living conditions
The Sen poverty index is a composite poverty measure, which combines incidence and intensity of poverty risk with the distribution of income among those at risk of poverty. It is defined as the at-risk-of poverty rate multiplied with the sum of the at-risk-of poverty gap and the Gini coefficient among those at risk of poverty weighted by 1 minus the at-risk-of poverty gap: S = P * {( + (1-() * Gq}, where P=at-risk-of poverty rate, (=atrisk-of poverty gap ratio and Gq=Gini coefficient of those at risk of poverty. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/coded_files/KS-BP-02-008-EN.pdf
