Abstract

This research aims to summarize the methods and indicators for studying poverty in a general manner and then projecting it onto reality in the specific case of Algeria. Due to the unique nature of the problem of poverty in Algerian studies, as well as to concept representations, the application of well-known techniques for measuring poverty and its indicators enables us to at least classify Algeria in the appropriate category. This will allow us to answer the question: Is Algeria a rich or a poor country? And What are the aspects of each possibility: poverty and wealth, given the contradictory figures that describe reality In the appropriate manner ?
