Abstract
Multidimensional poverty as opposed to one-dimensional or income poverty, relying on capabilities, it measures deprivation in the dimensions needed by households. Alkier and Foster calculated multidimensional poverty in three dimensions: education, health, and living standards, and then, inspired by this approach, researchers have considered dimensions commensurate with their most important needs and deprivations. Following the Alkier and Foster method, the present study has used the dimensions of health, education, dwelling, employment and living standards with the aim of measuring the multidimensional poverty index in Khuzestan province for 1390 and 1395.
Findings indicate that the size of multidimensional poverty in Khuzestan province in the two years under study is 25 and 28 percent respectively, which is higher than the national average and the severity of poverty is 34/4 and 34/7 percent. The most deprivation is in the dimensions of employment, health, dwelling, living standards, respectively.
