Abstract

Poverty measurement among Forcibly Displaced Populations (FDPs) including refugees and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) has been, for long, neglected by the economics profession and by poverty specialists working across the social sciences. This has changed since the beginning of the Syrian Conflict in 2011 and the peak of the European migration crisis in 2015. This paper reviews the evolution, current status and future prospects of the poverty measurement literature for FDPs, discusses the main data and measurement challenges associated with this type of populations. It also provides an overview of the substantial effort that humanitarian and development organizations are currently undertaking to close this historical gap in poverty measurement.
