Multidimensional Poverty and Deprivation: An Introduction

Roger White

Chapter Chapter 1 in Measuring Multidimensional Poverty and Deprivation, 2017, pp 1-6 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter introduces the topic of multidimensional poverty, focusing on its emergence as a metric to gauge deprivation and on the shortcomings of income- and consumption-based measures. Having established a basis for examination of deprivation as a multidimensional phenomenon, we close the chapter with a “road map” for the remainder of the volume.
