Abstract
dc.description.abstract
This paper proposes a new index of multidimensional
poverty, called the Global Correlation Sensitive Poverty
Index (G-CSPI), which has three interesting features. First, it
encompasses three dimensions: decent work, education
and access to drinking water and sanitation, which largely
overlap with the list of ideal dimensions obtained by
expanding the Constitutional Approach, although it does
not include direct health measures. Second, it uses a
distribution-sensitive measure that can also be
decomposed into the three poverty components:
incidence, intensity and inequality. Finally, the G-CSPI is an
individual-based, rather than household-based index,
although restricted to individuals 15–65 years of age. It is
thus able to detect intra-household differences in poverty
among members within that age-range. To have a full
picture of multidimensional poverty at the country level, it
should then be complemented by specific poverty
measures for children and the elderly. Being centred on
individuals and sensitive to inequality, the G-CSPI is
coherent with the overarching principle of the 2030
Agenda “leaving no one behind”. Using recent estimates of
the G-CSPI for 104 countries, the empirical analysis reveals
that the index is highly robust to different specifications,
and that, as expected, fragile countries experience the
largest levels of poverty.
