ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Trend Report – How do ASEAN Member Countries Measure Poverty? Understanding Different Definitions, Standards, and Measurement of Poverty in Southeast Asia


Poverty eradication will remain a priority for ASEAN in its Post-2025 Vision; however, conceptualisations and measurement of poverty have not been homogenous across the region. This trend report assesses how ASEAN’s strategy for poverty eradication in the post-2025 era might benefit from being based on a clear and comprehensive understanding of the diverse ways in which poverty is understood across ASEAN. Poverty measurements differ across the AMS, as reflected in the different methods employed and the extent to which indicators accounting for the multidimensionality of poverty are included. This variety of measurements, while necessitated by contextual differences, raises complexity in developing a standardised regional framework for comparing progress across ASEAN. Moreover, existing global standards are insufficient to serve as a basis for inclusive poverty alleviation initiatives through a multidimensional lens.
