The individual-level poverty analysis is a significant step forward in poverty assessment, highlighting intra-household differences that are often overlooked by traditional household-based measurements. This scientometric study examines the intellectual and collaborative landscape of individual poverty research. This scientometric study uses data from the Scopus database to examine the organization and development of research on individual-level poverty analysis from 2012 to 2025. The study analyzed 73 peer-reviewed papers to map publication trends, identify key authors, and track theme developments. The results show a growing interest in gender-sensitive and multifaceted responses to poverty, with notable international cooperation and thematic shifts toward the capabilities approach, time poverty, and empowerment. In addition to outlining potential research avenues, this work advances our knowledge of the development of individual-level poverty analysis.
