Abstract (EN)
The Multidimensional Poverty Index has broadened the measurement of poverty but still lacks some important dimensions of poverty. We propose here the Malagasy Multidimensional Poverty Index (MALAMPI), which is an augmented-MPI. In addition to the standard MPI dimensions (health, education and living standards), we add an additional and highly important dimension, namely employment, which is generally the sole means of production owned by poor or deprived people.
