In order to understand whether a reduction in overall poverty has improved the situations of the poorest, it is crucial … stringent multidimensional poverty: one uses a more stringent vector of deprivation cutoffs, and the other, a more stringent … cross-dimensional poverty cutoff. To explore the distinction between these two approaches empirically, we examine the …

Use of this general class of measures, however, presupposes a dimension of well-being that, like … from the literature on economic poverty, and demonstrates that the ordinal FGT measures indeed satisfy these core axioms ….

Income-based as well as most existing multidimensional poverty indices (MPI) assume equal distribution within the … household and thus are likely to lead to yield a biased assessment of individual poverty, and poverty by age or gender. In this … poverty status of households, while the impact of these assumptions on inequality between individual cannot be determined a …
