Multidimensional poverty measurement and analysis is evolving
rapidly. Notably, it has informed the publication of the
Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) estimates in the Human
Development Reports of the United Nations Development Programme
since 2010, and the release of national poverty measures in Mexico,
Colombia, Bhutan, the Philippines and Chile. The academic response
has been similarly swift, with related articles published in both
theoretical and applied journals. The high and insistent demand for
in-depth and precise accounts of multidimensional poverty
measurement motivates this book, which is aimed at graduate
students in quantitative social sciences, researchers of poverty
measurement, and technical staff in governments and international
agencies who create multidimensional poverty measures. The book is
organized into four elements. The first introduces the framework
for multidimensional measurement and provides a lucid overview of a
range of multidimensional techniques and the problems each can
address. The second part gives a synthetic introduction of
'counting' approaches to multidimensional poverty measurement and
provides an in-depth account of the counting multidimensional
poverty measurement methodology developed by Alkire and Foster,
which is a straightforward extension of the well-known
Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty measures that had a significant and
lasting impact on income poverty measurement. The final two parts
deal with the pre-estimation issues such as normative choices and
distinctive empirical techniques used in measure design, and the
post-estimation issues such as robustness tests, statistical
inferences, comparisons over time, and assessments of inequality
among the poor.
