Dear Users,

It is now available for comments and suggestions on the IBGE web site www.ibge.gov.br/poverty

, the original version of the Compendium of Best Practices in Poverty Measurement.

The Compendium is the result of the works of the Rio Group, created in 1997 by the United Nations Statistics Division, presided by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and assisted by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC).
