Hi everyone,

I am researching a policy in India in which only people living below the poverty line are eligible. In the DHS dataset, the wealth index factor score is available but I don't know how to figure out which value corresponds to the poverty line? does anyone have any ideas? I found this one table (attached file) in one of their publications but they do not mention how they got this.
