The "Poverty gap for the entire population" is a measure of relative poverty that indicates its depth, specifically showing how much the income of the poor falls below the poverty line (referred to as the "poverty gap"). The ratio reflects how much the average income of the poor falls below the poverty line, which is defined as half of the median household income of the entire population.

Coding rules

The poverty gap is the ratio that reflects how much the average income of the poor falls below the poverty line, which is defined as half of the median household income of the entire population. The poverty gap complements the poverty rate by offering a clearer picture of the severity of poverty in a country. This indicator is measured for the total population, as well as for specific age groups, including those aged 18-65 years and individuals over 65. Poverty lines are determined based on the overall population and are subsequently used to calculate poverty rates for specific subgroups (such as children and the elderly). While the poverty lines stay consistent within a given dataset, the subgroups can vary when calculating poverty gaps. The poverty line is defined as half of the median household income of the entire population. The affected population is categorized into broad age groups: working-age poverty (ages 18-65) and elderly poverty (ages 66 and older).
Teorell et al. (2024:357) define the variable as "Poverty gap entire population, average score across all age groups."
