Poverty Datum Line (PDL)

The Poverty Datum Line (PDL) is a key economic indicator used to measure the minimum level of income required for an individual or household to meet basic needs such as food, housing, healthcare, education, and other essential services. It serves as a benchmark for assessing poverty levels and informing social and economic policies.

The PDL provides insights into:

  • The cost of living for different household sizes and compositions.
  • Trends in poverty and economic well-being.
  • Policy formulation for poverty alleviation and social welfare programs
  • Salaries and income adjustments in both public and private sectors.

Non-Food Poverty Line

 

  • The cost of essential non-food items such as housing, clothing, transportation, and healthcare.
