The main variables of poverty and inequality, from single-dimensional monetary indicators to broader multidimensional and subjective concepts; issues of conducting a comparative analysis of poverty and inequality by individuals, households, countries and subgroups over time; features of the proposed measures to generalize the level of poverty and inequality in relation to the population.
