This note demonstrates empirically the importance of urban - rural price differences and inflation figures in poverty analysis. Using data from the National Socio - Economic Survey (Survei Sosial Ekonomi Nasional, widely known as Susenas), it shows that the urban - rural food price differential during the period 1987 - 96 was 13 - 16 %, not 28 - 52 % as impli by the 'official & Close Curly Quote ; food poverty lines. The urban - rural poverty comparisons and the components of change in simulated poverty estimates presented here therefore differ from those based on the 'official & Close Curly Quote ; figures. They indicate that migration to urban areas between 1987 and 1996 accounts for a significant part of the observed decline in poverty. The paper concludes that it is essential to use accurate urban - rural cost of living differences in deriving aggregate, urban and rural poverty estimates.
