The canonical approach to analyse the poverty impact of growth is based on the comparison
of poverty before and after growth. Measurement tools endorsing this approach fail to
capture the different experiences of poverty dynamic in the population: there can be groups
of the population made poorer or non-poor made poor by growth.We propose an approach
that allows measuring this individual poverty incidence of growth and showhowit is related
with existing models.We apply our framework to evaluate the poverty impact of growth in
Indonesia, by comparing the 1993–2000 with the 2000–07 and 2007–14 growth spells.
