6.1 Introduction
One of the main objectives of the NRVA is to provide information on living standards, on their evolution over time, and their distribution over households. Of particular concerns are living standards amongst the poorest segments of the population, and NRVA survey data provide the principal means for estimating the extent and severity of poverty in Afghanistan. The measure of welfare adopted to assess population living standards is based on household consumption. In particular, an individual is considered as poor if herhis level of consumption is not suficient to satisfy basic needs i.e. if herhis consumption falls below the minimum threshold identiied by the poverty line. In line with international standards, the oficial absolute poverty line for Afghanistan is estimated following the Cost of Basic Needs CBN approach and it was set using the NRVA 2007-08. The CBN absolute poverty line represents the level of per capita consumption at which the members of a household can be expected to meet their “basic needs” in terms of both food and non-food consumption. 1 In order to assess the evolution of wellbeing over time, the 2007-08 poverty line was updated to 2011-12 prices to relect changes in the cost of living. 2 This chapter focuses on the estimation and trend analysis of poverty and inequality, and it presents some basic correlates between household characteristics and poverty. 1 More speciically, the food component of the poverty line captures the cost of consuming 2,100 Kcal per day following the typical food consumption patterns of the relatively poor; the non-food component of the poverty line is estimated as the median non-food expenditure of individuals with food consumption around the food poverty line. See IRoA and WB 2010. 2 For more details, see Annex VII.Parts
