Highlights:
1. The editorial concerns methodology used in multidimensional poverty indices including issues of measurability, aggregation across indicators, and data availability.
2. Editorial acknowledges the importance of analysing non-income indicators like education, health, sanitation, and child mortality alongside income or consumption poverty. However, it questions the effectiveness of converting these indicators into a single index, citing concerns about arbitrary weighting and aggregation.
3. Editorial emphasises the importance of consistent data and suggests improvements in data collection methods to provide a clearer picture of poverty trends and impacts.
Catchline:
“India has made momentous progress in reducing multidimensional poverty. The incidence of multidimensional poverty was almost halved between 2005/06 and 2015/16, climbing down to 27.5 per cent. Thus, within ten years, the number of poor people in India fell by more than 271 million — a truly massive gain”- MPI 2018
#Key_Words: Consumption-based poverty estimates, Capabilities approach, Data constraints, Data disparity.
