Abstract

Reference budgets are illustrative priced baskets of goods and services that indicate households’ minimum financial needs in association with a chosen standard of living. This chapter gives a detailed account of how absolute poverty measurement in the European context may be based on reference budgets as its central component. The so-called budget-based approach of ABSPO measurement explores the related limits and challenges and develops a methodology to extend existing reference budget inputs and ensure full population coverage for consistent absolute poverty measurement in three pilot countries (Belgium, Finland, Hungary).
