Abstract
This study analyzes multidimensional deprivations and vulnerability in two major
provinces of Pakistan using the data of Pakistan Social and Living Standard
Measurement (PSLM) 2014. It compiles a Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI)
for provincial and regional levels on the basis of identification and equal weight
approach as conceptual framework. The study proposes a comprehensive
operationalization of a Multidimensional Poverty Index for developing countries
like Pakistan, including a justification for several social and economic dimensions.
This study may be helpful for structuring new policy metrics, and may provide
useful information to human development experts and statisticians for assessing
and using poverty indices M0
, M1 and M2
.
