10 10 Rationale for poverty measurement. Broad overview of different ways of measuring poverty. Multi-dimensional poverty in America: Findings from my research. Policy and practice implications. Presentation Outline
11 11 Why Look at Poverty in America? Well-being of citizens universal concern of policymakers. Poverty in our own backyard! Global comparison with other advanced nations.
12 12 Poverty in America BUT before we strive to address the problem of poverty, we must first critically assess
13 What is Poverty? 13
14 How do we measure poverty? 14
15 15 Why Purpose of poverty measure Who Unit of analysis (individual/household) What Resources to be included Where Geographic basis for comparison When Time period involved Poverty Measurement: Questions to Ask Source: Johnson, D.S. (2009). Impressionistic realism: The Europeans focus the U.S. on measurement. Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, 28(4),
16 16 Why Do Poverty Measures Matter? Definition of Poverty Selection of Indicators to Measure Poverty Identification of Individuals & Groups as Poor Development of Poverty Alleviation Strategies
17 Uni-Dimensional vs. Multi-Dimensional Poverty Measures 17 Uni-Dimensional Measure Multi-Dimensional Measure Employment Cash Income POVERTY Cash Income POVERTY Housing Health Education
18 18 Resource-Based Poverty Measures: Absolute Income Poverty Relative Income Poverty Consumption Based Poverty Uni-Dimensional Poverty Measures Spotlight on U.S. Poverty Measure
19 19 Uni-Dimensional Measure: Absolute Income Poverty NOT POOR Poverty Line Examples: POOR Minimum income needed for basic survival or basic needs.
20 Uni-Dimensional Measure: Relative Income Poverty 20 $200 $100 $100 $50 POOR Median Income Poverty Line (% of median national income) Poverty linked to overall standard of living in a country. Example: 50% or 60% of median national income (Europe).
21 21 Income poverty can be transitory. Uni-Dimensional Measure: Consumption Based Poverty Some argue that income measures are biased because of underreporting of income, including government benefits. Focus on what family consumes or spends on goods and services as better indicator of family s available resources (such as savings, access to credit, assets) compared to family annual income. Compare consumption of goods to a poverty threshold. May provide better picture of material hardship than income.
22 22 Measuring Poverty in the U.S. Official Federal Poverty Measure A) USDA Economy food plan: Cheapest nutritionally adequate food plan. B) Estimated amount spent on food: 33% of income. Cost of food plan x 3 = poverty line {adjusted for inflation & household size} If pre-tax cash income < poverty line Individual/Family poor
23 23 Supplemental Poverty Measure Based on recommendations of 1995 National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Panel. Addresses flaws of official measure. Family s net resources after inclusion of benefits (near-cash and tax benefits) and exclusion of expenses (such as medical care & child care). However, focus still remains on economic deprivation.
24 Multi-Dimensional Poverty: Poverty Measures from Around the World 24 Amartya Sen s capability approach to poverty. Applications of the capability approach.
25 25 Multi-Dimensional Poverty Measures Amartya Sen s Capability Approach Although monetary resources (income) important, individual s capability to function successfully in society far more critical. Basic capabilities = What individuals can achieve ( do or be ) based on actual opportunities available to them. Poverty = failure to achieve basic capabilities.
26 26 Multi-Dimensional Poverty Measures Amartya Sen s Capability Deprivation: An Illustration Commodity (Bicycle) Characteristics (Transportation) Capability to Function (Ability to Move) Utility (Riding around)
27 Multi-Dimensional Poverty: Applications of the Capability Approach 27 MACRO LEVEL (country level) UN Human Development Index UN Human Poverty Index MICRO LEVEL (household or individual level) Bhutan s Gross National Happiness Index Multi-Dimensional Poverty Index
28 28 Macro Level Capability Deprivation Measure: UN Human Development Index (HDI) The process of development human development - should at least create an environment for people, individually and collectively, to develop to their full potential and to have a reasonable chance of leading productive and creative lives that they value. It is about providing people with opportunities, not insisting that they make use of them. Source:

31 31 Macro Level Capability Deprivation Measure: UN Human Poverty Index (HPI) Published in UN Human Development Report from 1997 to HPI measure of capability deprivation covering 95 countries. HPI used country averages to reflect aggregate deprivations in health, education, and standards of living. Sources:

35 35 Replaced HPI in Micro Level Capability Deprivation Measure: UN Global Multi-Dimensional Poverty Index (MPI) Developed by economists Sabina Alkire and James Foster (Oxford Poverty & Human Development Initiative, University of Oxford). International measure of acute poverty applied to over 100 developing countries.

38 38 Multi-Dimensional Poverty in America: An Application Paucity of multi-dimensional poverty research in the U.S. This research explores how a multi-dimensional measure can provide a more lucid picture of poverty and disadvantage in America today. Although the MPI was developed primarily for developing countries, there is discussion on how this measure can be adapted for developed nations. This research contributes to the field by exploring how the MPI can be applied in the U.S. context.
39 Multi-Dimensional Poverty in America: Main Objective of My Research 39 Examine profiles of poverty in America using an author-created Multi-Dimensional Poverty Index (MPI) through the lens of race. MPI complements income poverty by measuring the number of deprivations a poor person faces simultaneously with regard to: Education Health Living Standard 3 dimensions that Sen suggests as intrinsically valuable capabilities.
40 My Multi-Dimensional Poverty Index 40 Education Does not have at least high school degree Health Does not have access to private or public health insurance Living Standard Identified income poor using NAS-based poverty measure
41 41 National-level analysis. Merged individual-level data from U.S. Census Bureau (Public Use Research Files) & Minnesota Population Center census micro data (Integrated Public Use Microdata Series Current Population Survey [IPUMS-CPS]). Adults aged 18 years or older time period. - Analytic sample = 295,856 individuals Multi-Dimensional Poverty in America: Data & Sampling Frame

46 46 Summary of Findings Multi-Dimensional Poverty in America: Findings from My Research Whites lowest percent poor under all three measures. Multi-dimensional poverty rate highest for Hispanics. Lack of education and access to health insurance more important drivers to multi-dimensional poverty among Hispanics compared to other racial groups, while income poverty and lack of access to health insurance more important for Blacks.
47 47 Policy & Practice Implications Multi-dimensional index can provide high-resolution lens on who poor are how do disadvantages cluster together for certain individuals? Crafting policies that address racial differences in deprivations. Social investment investing in people so they can become selfsufficient. Coordination and Integration of services Integration across systems. Generating political will to look at poverty more holistically lessons from other countries?
