The Research Supplemental Poverty Measure: 2010

January 18, 2012

3:00 – 4:00 PM EST

Register

In November, the Census Bureau, with assistance from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and in consultation with other appropriate agencies and outside experts, introduced a new measure of poverty to complement the official measure, which has been in use since the 1960s. The Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) is intended to better reflect contemporary social and economic realities and government policy effects and thus provide a further understanding of economic conditions and trends. This presentation will provide some technical background on the differences between the SPM and the official poverty measure and present estimates of the prevalence of poverty at the national level – overall and for selected demographic groups – for both the official and supplemental measures.
