Multidimensional poverty: more important that the label is the content, by Javier Herrera and Javier Escobal
“The indicator that Midis would adopt combines only the indicators of all dimensions of poverty that it can collect in a single survey in an single number, thus hiding the specificity of indicators as diverse as those of health, education, housing, employment, to name but a few”.
Javier Herrera, Visiting Professor at PUCP, and Javier Escobal, Senior Researcher at GRADE, both members of the Consultative Commission on Poverty Measurement, expand the discussion on the Midis proposal that favors having an aggregate of multidimensional poverty.
