      abstract = {This paper considers the evolution ofthinking about  poverty since Rowntree's classic study ofpoverty in England  at the turn ofthe last century. It highlights the  progressive broadening ofthe definition and measurement  ofpoverty, from command over market-purchased goods  (income) to other dimensions ofliving standards such as  longevity, literacy and healthiness, and , most recently,  to concerns with risk and vulnerability, and powerlessness  and lack ofvoice. The paper argues that while there is a  correlation between these different dimensions, this  broadening changes significantly our thinking about  strategies to reduce poverty. A broader definition expands  the set ofpolicies that are relevant to the reduction of  poverty. But the broadening also emphasizes that poverty  reducing strategies must recognize the interactions among  the policies--the impact of appropriately designed  combinations will be greater than the sum ofthe individual  parts.},
