Sažetak
Indicators of poverty are important indexes of the current social situation in any country. Their importance is reflected in the understanding of social conditions and in their practical implications for the creators of the social policy and programmes. They thus obtain prompt feedback of the impact of the implemented public policies and programmes of the social conditions in the country. The prompt and timely availability of information on how current economic and other measures reflect the social situation in a country are of extreme importance because it is possible to correct the measures and programmes as soon as they are introduced if they are not considered as desirable by the society in general. A high social standard of the population is among the basic objectives of every country. In order to achieve it, a country must intervene at the right moment with its social policy instruments. An understanding of the necessary social measures and of their direct effects on the socially endangered population in a country may be assessed by monitoring the changes in the indicators of poverty.
