In 1990, Cerioli and Zani introduced an operational multivariate method to analyse and measure poverty, aiming at … incorporating several dimensions of poverty.

The most common approach is those of Amartya …

Given the multiplicative decomposition of the Sen index into three commonly used poverty statistics – the poverty rate … (poverty incidence), poverty gap ratio (poverty depth) and 1 plus the Gini index of poverty gap ratios of the poor (inequality … of poverty) – the index becomes much easier to use and to interpret for economists, policy analysts and decision makers …
