| Abstract: | This paper considers the statistical reliability of poverty estimates widely used in the policy-making statistics community. It derives exact small and large sample distributions for proportions of a sample falling below given fractions of sample median income ( or other sample quantities) and uses the resulting formulae to assess statistical significance of changes in relative poverty in the UK over the 1980s. |
