Human Development and Multidimensional Poverty in Southeast Asia
In this research project, three questions concerning human development and multi-dimensional poverty in southeast Asia will be discussed. First, why do the human development and poverty reduction records of countries in the region differ so much? Second, how do the dimensions of poverty in southeast Asia vary according to level of urbanization? Finally, how adequate is the UNDP’s Multidimensional Poverty Index and how might it be improved upon?
