Using the Planning Comm. poverty line, the paper computes poverty & inequality indices & demonstrates that the intertemporal changes in the poverty ratio has been more influenced by the changes in per capita consumption rather than class distribution. Also discusses the importance of non-income indicators such as infant mortality rate & school enrollment in the assessment of living standards. (2) Practices of Poverty Measurement & Poverty Profile of Bangladesh: Findings indicate that the incidence of poverty has declined over the years. Illustrations.
