Die zu Grunde gelegte Armutsdefinition wird lediglich ad hoc eingeführt und relativ unverbindlich gehandhabt. Die verwendeten empirischen Armutskonzepte messen jedoch sehr unterschiedliche Dinge, und es fehlt eine theoretische Grundlage dafür, das empirisch ausgebreitete Material auf eine gemeinsame und systematische Interpretationsfolie von Armut beziehen zu können.
