abstract = {The persistency of poverty around the world is one of the most serious problems that
humanity has to face, so in order to arise awareness, it is essential that the measurement of such problem
is improved. These improvements also give the incentive to carry out motivating actions, design
good policies, gauging progress, and enable holding political leaders accountable for meeting targets.
To help make this possible, we provide an examination of how poverty is currently measured, bringing
together evidence on the nature and extent of poverty in 91 countries around the world. This article
presents research using the Rasch model, an inductive method which uses a synthetic-analytical
process. This method enables us to provide a comparison of poverty among countries and identifies
the main factors that contribute to it.},
