Using Aggregation Functions for Measuring Social Inequality and Poverty

Poverty reduction is without doubt a goal of development policy in most countries. To evaluate the evolution of poverty over time in some particular region, the differences of poverty across different countries or the effect of different policies in the alleviation of poverty, one should be first able to measure poverty.
