Poverty indices in multi-dimensional apprehension

Summary/Abstract: A methodology for multi-dimensional assessment of poverty is presented in this paper. In this approach the assessment of the households needs is effected not only from the viewpoint current incomes (expenditures) but non-monetary factors are also taken into consideration. The multi-dimensional approach has been based on the theory of fuzzy sets in which the conventional poor/non-poor dichotomy is replaced by assessment of the degree of households poverty threat. The same methodology facilitates comprehensive monetary and non-monetary poverty analysis. Four indicators of the incidence and depth of monetary and non-monetary poverty were constructed.
