    The passage discusses the challenges of measuring poverty in developing countries. It notes that traditional poverty measures based on income or consumption are difficult to apply in contexts where subsistence activities and bartering are common. Alternative multidimensional measures of poverty that consider access to education, health, water and sanitation may provide a more comprehensive picture of deprivation. However, they are also complex to implement and compare across locations and time periods.
