Poverty is a complex problem and it has multiple dimensions. In my response to MP Tassi, I meant to say that when it comes to tracking our progress on poverty it makes more sense that we track the economic dimension using economic indicators of poverty and that we track the social dimension with social indicators of poverty. I'm a bit wary of putting all of this in one pile and then generating potentially a single statistic or a statistic that keeps all of those in there, because the two are related but they also have their separate aspects. You can have a lack of financial resources but still be part of a community.
