Subjective poverty measurement in Kazakhstan, Guljan Daurenbekova (Kazakhstan)

Subjective indicators have an important complementary role to play in reaching the poorest and making their voices heard. Subjective measures reflect people's perceptions of their economic well-being across various aspects of life, including health, financial status and work. The resulting estimates may vary significantly due to different methods and cultural beliefs about well-being and poverty. The indicators are also influenced by the age, gender and region of the respondent. Kazakhstan will share information on the analysis of subjective poverty depending on age, gender and region over time. In addition, information will be provided on such a food security indicator as the Food Insecurity Scale.
