Multidimensional Poverty Measurement

From the reviews: "'Multidimensional Poverty Measures', offers an unconventional look at this topic and presents an interesting application to Nepal and the United States. ... the book represents a nice contribution to the growing debate on the need to move away from the traditional one-dimensional approach to well-being and deprivation. ... I found the review of the approaches to be extremely enlightening and to be an excellent resource for those interested in the field of multidimensional poverty." (Maria Ana Lugo, The Journal of Economic Inequality, Vol. 10, 2012) "Udaya Wagle offers an empirical framework to measure multidimensional poverty based on latent variable models, and thus contributes to this growing literature. ... this book will positively stimulate the discussion and reflections surrounding the quantitative measurement of multidimensional poverty. ... the work provided in this book is without doubt one of the most accurate. ... Multidimensional Poverty Measurement: Concepts and Applications will thus become more and more relevant, and its methodology should naturally be applied more often by poverty researchers."
