The results and the related analyses may reveal the need for different policy responses depending on which form(s) of poverty different groups of people experience. Standardised datasets (the latest waves of the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS)), age-groups, dimensions, indicators, and thresholds are used to ensure cross-country comparability. Due to data limitations, only one concept of poverty - deprivation - is analysed (see de Neubourg et al, 2012b).
