This book investigates and documents multidimensional poverty in
the United States and identifies patterns and relationships that
contribute to the development of a more complete understanding of
the incidence and intensity of deprivation. The first part
introduces multidimensional poverty and provides a rationale for
viewing poverty through a lens of multiple deprivations. It
discusses how the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) compares to
more narrowly-focused, income-based poverty measures and emphasizes
its usefulness and applicability for the formulation of related,
welfare-enhancing public policies. The second part documents
multidimensional poverty incidence, intensity, and corresponding
MPI values at the aggregate level of detail, for various
demographic cohorts, and across geographic locales. The book then
presents results from an empirical analysis that identifies the
determinants of multidimensional poverty incidence and of
individual deprivation scores. The third part consists of three
studies of multidimensional poverty, examining the effect of the
Affordable Care Act on multidimensional poverty incidence and
intensity, variation in multidimensional poverty across native- and
foreign-born residents (and across immigrants' home countries) of
the US, and variation in the respective indicators that contribute
to multidimensional poverty across the life cycle. The book closes
with two chapters. The first relays the findings of counterfactual
exercises where certain deprivations are assumed to have been
eliminated. The final chapter summarizes the work, draws inferences
and arrives at conclusions, and discusses the corresponding public
policy implications.
