Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present a model of capability measurement, called MACaD (Multidimensional Analysis of Capabilities Deprivation), which is based on the observation of a list of functionings in a sample of people through an empirical analysis. Within the theoretical framework of the capability approach developed by Amartya K. Sen, we introduce an analytical definition of the concept of functioning that encompasses individual agency. Furthermore, we develop a multidimensional index based on the counting approach which allows us to represent individuals within a Cartesian space. Empirical analysis is carried out through a specific questionnaire administered to more than 500 individuals living in the Municipality of Rome 10. We have focused our attention on specific subgroups of our sample (households with children), a peculiar life dimension (expressing emotions) and capabilities transformation deficit.
