In the same time period, the reduction in poverty in rural areas has been slow or non-existent. As a results, the … relative risk of poverty has increased in this time period for those employed in the agricultural sector, living in rural areas …

In this paper we compute a multi-dimensional poverty index (MPI) for Uganda following the approach proposed by Alkire … and Forster (2007). Using household survey data we show how the incidence of multi-dimensional poverty has fallen in …-dimensional poverty.

We argue that inter-country comparisons of income poverty based on poverty lines uniformly reflecting the costs of the … uniform approach to poverty assessment based on basic human capabilities for three countries: Nicaragua, Tanzania, and Vietnam …. We compute standard errors of the resulting poverty estimates and compare the incidence of poverty across these three …
