Challenges in designing national multidimensional poverty measures

Countries are increasingly interested in having an official multidimensional poverty index (MPI). This is the expression of a growing consensus regarding the limitations of income poverty measures as standalone indicator. This paper analyses the challenges in designing such indices. Specifically, it...

This is the expression of a growing consensus regarding the limitations of income poverty measures as standalone indicator. This paper analyses the challenges in designing such indices.

In general, for all the reviewed items, the bottom line is that there is no canonical procedure for making these choices.
