Multidimensional poverty: more important than the label is the content, by Javier Herrera and Javier Escobal
“The indicator that Midis would adopt combines only indicators that can be collected in the same survey, ignoring key elements like those related to malnutrition and anemia, indicators of quality of education and quality of access to public services, as well as indicators linked to violence and citizen security”.
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.
