Abstract

Yoksulluk çok boyutlu bir kavramdır. Bu yüzden yoksulluğun tanımı yapılırken bu boyutlar göz önünde bulundurulur. Örneğin, yoksulluğu açıklarken kullanılan parasal (monetary) yaklaşın yoksulluğu bir boyut ile gelir-tüketim noksanlığı olarak inceler. Ancak, Sen'in liderliğinde gelişen kapasite yaklaşımında ise yoksulluk temel kapasitelere ulaşamamak olarak tanımlanır. Kapasite bir insanın ne olabileceğini veya ne yapabileceğini içerir: iyi beslenebilmek, ölümden kaçabilmek, okuyabilmek ve yazabilmek, haberleşebilmek, toplum içerisinde bulunabilmek, utanmadan insanlar arasında bulunmak. Temel ihtiyaçlar bunun bir kısmını oluşturur. Birleşmiş Milletler Kalkınma Programı (UNDP) tarafından kapasite yaklaşımından yararlanılarak hazırlanan insani yoksulluk endeksi örnek olarak alınabilir. UNDP tarafından hazırlanan bu endekste insani yoksulluk insan hayati için gerekli üç unsurun yoksunluğu olarak tanımlanır. insani yoksulluğun ölçülmesinde kullanılan üç unsur yaşam süresi, bilgi düzeyi ve yaşam kalitesidir.
