I actually don't define poverty in the context of my work. We measure the performance of our old age security and guaranteed income supplement program based on the use of the LICO, the low-income cut-off. The reason we use the low-income cut-off is that we have a longer time series to be able to compare it to. It's the one that's been around for the longest period of time.
