multidimensional poverty encompasses a range of deprivations that a household may suffer. the number of indicators and specific indicators used depend on the purpose of the measure. common purposes include national poverty measures that reflect changes over time, targeting of services or conditional cash transfers and monitoring and evaluation. at a glance, multidimensional measures present an integrated view of the situation. we can also examine poverty by population group, or study the composition of deprivation for different groups. multidimensional metrics are rigorous, easy to use, flexible, and adaptable to different contexts. ophi has developed a methodology for measuring multidimensional poverty known as the alkire foster (af) method. ophi researchers apply the af method and related multidimensional measures to a range of different countries and contexts. their analyses span a number of different topics, such as changes in multidimensional poverty over time, comparisons in rural and urban poverty, and inequality among the poor. for more information on ophi’s research, see their working paper series and research briefs.
