Abstract

This chapter presents the Alkire and Foster methodology for multidimensional poverty measurement, describing the identification method and the family of M_ poverty measures. The chapter then presents an overview of the properties satisfied by these measures, with special emphasis on the M0 measure, which has been the one most extensively implemented in practice. It also briefly reviews the salient applications of M0, discusses the critiques to the methodology and presents recent extensions of the M_ class.
