Indonesia. The approach is referred as a utility-consistent poverty line (UCPL) approach. It is based
on a theory of price index or cost of living index (COLI). The second objective is to examine the
development of methods for estimating poverty lines in general and methods used to estimate regional
poverty lines in Indonesia. The survey focuses on comparing these methods with UCPL approach.
