Counting and Multidimensional Poverty
نویسندگان
چکیده
The concept of multidimensional poverty has risen to prominence among researchers and policymakers. The compelling writings of Amartya Sen, participatory poverty exercises in many countries, and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) all draw attention to the multiple deprivations suffered by many of the poor and the interconnections among these deprivations. A key task for research has been to develop a coherent framework for measuring multidimensional poverty that builds on the techniques developed to measure unidimensional (monetary) poverty and that can be applied to data on other dimensions of poverty.

The case for an assessment of poverty considering multiple deprivations has been well argued for a long time (e.g. Sen, 2001, 2009). While there is a broad consensus about the multidimensionality of poverty, there is a debate as to whether the multiple indicators of deprivations should be brought together into a composite index or not (e.g. see Ravalion, 2010). On the other hand, it seems that ...
