Abstract

The notion of a subsistence minimum highlights all the conditions for a man's survival, particularly in terms of consumption. Its definition varies in time and space. The definition of a minimum income in some countries makes it possible to have a first measure of the subsistence minimum in a specific place, even if it always takes a little more than is necessary to survive. Poverty also highlights not only the flows needed to survive a given time and period, it must also take into account the assets available. Finally, social inequality takes into account not only the regular income of households, but also their wealth. They tend to increase, after a post-war period that had been rather towards a more egalitarian mode of distribution of goods and services.
