Application of Experimental Poverty Measures to the Aged
Application of Experimental Poverty Measures to the Aged
Abstract
This article examines poverty among persons aged 65 or older under experimental measures, which are based on a 1995 report released by the National Academy of Sciences. When compared with the official measure, the experimental measure produces higher poverty rates for all groups and narrower differences in poverty rates across groups.
