Abstract

Vulnerability has become an integral part of any deprivation assessment. In this paper we take a fresh look at measuring vulnerability, where we separate out the identification part of whether an individual is vulnerable from the aggregation part as has been done in the multi-dimensional poverty context. In doing so, we have also been able to deal with one of the crucial problems that we see in the multi-dimensional context, which is that of weights used on the different dimensions under aggregation. We axiomatically characterise this new measure of vulnerability and thus also provide a theoretical underpinning to many of the empirical applications in this field. Further, we provide a real world application of the measure using data from Bangladesh.
