Moderate Poverty Measurement in Middle-Income Countries

IIEP had the pleasure of hosting another joint virtual event in our seminar series on global multidimensional poverty with the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) on Tuesday, November 5th, 2024. Adriana Conconi — SDG Specialist at UNDP-LAC and Director of Social Impact at VR (Brazil) — joined OPHI researchers Fanni Kovesdi, Hector Moreno, Ricardo Nogales, and Monice Pinilla-Roncancio to present their article, "Towards a Moderate Multidimensional Poverty Index: An Application to Middle-Income Countries." Their article builds an extensive literature overview of plausible dimensions and indicators that are desirable from a theoretical perspective to measure multidimensional poverty. Methodologically, it draws upon the dual cut-off counting approach for poverty measurement developed by Sabina Alkire & James Foster in 2011, which is also the methodological underpinning of global and national MPIs. The study uses data from Brazil, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Colombia, aiming to estimate the MIP-MIC and compare the results across countries.
