| 英文摘要 | Multidimensional poverty is currently at the heart of many theoretical, empirical and institutional debates. South Asia has the world's highest levels of poverty where 49% of people are multidimensionally poor. Poor and vulnerable households are predominantly in rural and mountainous areas of Nepal. This is a case study conducted in Bajhang district of Nepal, where we have selected five Village Development Committees to conduct our research. Well-structured questionnaires were entertained as face to face interview. This paper applies Alkire-Foster Methodology 2011 for measuring the multidimensional poverty. At poverty cut off, k=3, it was found that 49.7% of people are multidimensionally poor. Dimension wise breakdown shows that cooking fuel, flooring, nutrition, electricity, child mortality and schooling have major contributors among overall multidimensional poverty. This research is important for policy makers to provide much clearer guidance for anti-poverty policy on the basis of different dimensions, climatic zones, areas and demographic distributions. |
