When countries don't have an official poverty line, what are some of the challenges this presents for social policy, specifically policies meant to address the problem of poverty? What challenges result from having a patchwork quilt, so to speak, where we know what poverty looks like in one part of the country but not in other parts? Without a set definition, I would assume that it becomes much more difficult to address the problem of poverty, does it not?
