Abstract
Abstract Most poverty analysts agree that poverty is multidimensional in theory. In practice, empirical poverty studies are overwhelmingly univariate, with most economists limiting their attention to poverty defined in terms of having low income or low consumption expenditure. This chapter is part of a larger research agenda that aims to bring the empirical literature closer to the widely accepted theory.1 In particular, we show that it is both interesting and practicable to make poverty comparisons when poverty is measured using more than one dimension of well-being.
