This volume explores the nature and scope of the problem of poverty, examines the political responses to poverty (examples of different countries); and investigates the existence and use of various definitions and thresholds applied to poverty in policy making . It also examines the variations within income transfers, i.e. social benefits designed to prevent or alleviate poverty and material hardship and explores the effectiveness of benefit schemes in reducing poverty.--Publisher's description.
