Capturing nested spheres of poverty: a model for multidimensional poverty analysis and monitoring.
Gonner, Christian ; Haug, Michaela ; Cahyat, Ade 等
In this paper we discuss recent trends in poverty concepts and
suggest a locally adapted multidimensional model for measuring and
monitoring poverty. The model comprises nested layers with subjective
well-being in the center surrounded by a core of health, wealth and
knowledge, and a context that includes natural, economic, social and
political spheres, as well as service and structural aspects. These nine
facets of poverty cover basic needs, individual assets and capabilities,
and the enabling environment that helps people escape poverty by
ensuring sustainability, providing opportunities and minimizing
vulnerability. The model was tested in several monitoring trials and in
the official poverty and well-being monitoring of Kutai Barat District,
Indonesia, in early 2006. Twenty-one sub-districts covering 223 villages
with more than 150,000 people were assessed. Examples drawn from this
experience illustrate possible applications of the model.
