LA POVERTA’ MULTIDIMENSIONALE: SPERIMENTARE L’MPI IN ITALIA

Andrea Billi, Mia Scotti

Abstract


An unique and wide shared definition of poverty does not exist. The idea that it corresponds to a scarcity of economic resources has been progressively overcome. Multiple aspects of human daily life became relevant alongside economic resources. Poverty became multidimensional. This process asks for a proper assessment method, able to measure multiple achievements in human daily life. It is relavant to understand clearly which consequences diverse approaches may have in policy planning and actions. The Alkire Foster method responds to  these concerns. Based on the OPHI activities and inspired by Nicolai Suppa works this paper  experiments the application of the MPI to Italy in 2015. A first comparison with the monetary measure of poverty worked by ISTAT is presented.
