  2. Background in LAC • Multidimensional Perspective with arbitrary agregation • Unsatissfied Basic Needs (Quality of housing, dependence rate, etc.), Humand Development Index • Multidimensional Perspective without agregation • MDGs (highly important for awareness of brader group of policy makers and stake holders) • Multidimensional Poverty Index with more structured aggregation • Theory MDPI, Chrakravarty, Bourguignon, etc • Applications for LAC / presented at the conference “The Many dimensions of Poverty” IPC 2005

  3. Illlustrate Application to the Colombia • Percieved well-being shows unambiguos improvement for all Colombians and for the poor.

  4. Question-Puzzle • PUZZLE: better well-being 1997-2003 despite • the worst economic recession (1998), that reversed the levels of poverty to 1988 levels. • persistently high levels of violence and insecurity. but • But with persistent improvements in social indicators (education, sanitation, etc.) • 180 degree change of government’s security policy (since late 2002 / President Uribe)

  5. Main concerns of Colombians in 2000: violence, employment, education • According to the Latinobarometro surveys 2000 [Gaviria (2001) and Caroline Mosser (1999)] Nearly four out of every five Colombians thought that public policy priorities were either • Violence (38%) • Unemployment-income poverty (25%) • Education (15%) (followed by corruption and low wages) Source: Velez (2002) Colombia Poverty Report, World Bank.

  9. Tri-dimensioal MDP • introducing a more accurate measurement of consumption (one that includes public subsidies of social programs) gives a more consistent picture of the link between changes in well-being and the MDPI. • the degree of consistency is even larger when the welfare weights of non-monetary dimensions -like education and security- are raised vis-à-vis consumption.

  10. Conclusion • The results show that parametrizing axiomatically derived MDP indices, while maintaining consistency with evidence on reported well-being of Colombian households, provides a path to derive non-arbitrary weights for the variables included, to avoid arbitrary aggregation procedures, and to reflect more accurately the impact that each dimension of poverty has on the overall wellbeing within the household.
