Depth of risk of poverty (i52)

Description

Definition: the depth of risk of poverty is measured as the difference between the median equivalised total net disposable income of people living below the at-risk-of-poverty threshold and the at-risk-of-poverty threshold itself, expressed as a percentage of the at-risk-of-poverty threshold. The indicator gives an indication of the severity or depth of poverty in a country. The larger the indicator, the lower the income of people at risk of poverty. It is an instrument to quantify the nature of inequality within a society.
