| Resumen: | The UN SDG 1 s call to end all poverty motivates the need for an array of poverty lines. We propose a Global Upper-Bound Poverty Line (GUBPL) of P$21.5 per person per day. GUBPL is estimated using iso-elastic utility, Engel curves, and household well-being data. P$21.5 is ten times the lower-bound and consistent with lines of lower-tier high-income countries. GLBPL and GUBPL together provide a more inclusive framework for poverty measurement. |
