Abstract

This paper illustrates the insights that can be gained from using a multidimensional poverty measurement method based on the capability approach to analyse the scale, characteristics, and spatial distribution of poverty in segregated cities. We assess the poverty gaps between formal and informal neighbourhoods and across districts, compare the results with income-based poverty estimates, and analyse the dimensional composition of poverty and disparities across population subgroups. The results show a weaker correlation between multidimensional and income-based measures and less overlap in terms of who is identified as poor in informal settlements than in the rest of the city. After adjusting for underrepresentation of the slum population in the household survey, informal settlements account for 10% of the city's population but nearly half of the multidimensionally poor. The results highlight the need to design poverty reduction policies that target informal neighbourhoods.

隔离城市的多维贫困测度
本文阐述了使用基于能力方法的多维贫困衡量方法来分析隔离城市贫困的规模、特征和空间分布所能获得的见解。我们评估了正式和非正式社区之间以及各地区之间的贫困差距,将结果与基于收入的贫困估计值进行比较,并分析了贫困的维度构成和各人口亚组之间的差距。结果显示,与城市其他地区相比,多维指标和基于收入的指标之间的相关性较弱,在非正规住区谁被认定为穷人方面的重叠更少。在对家庭调查中贫民窟人口代表性不足进行调整后,非正规住区占该市人口的10%,但几乎占多维贫困人口的一半。结果突出表明,有必要制定针对非正规社区的减贫政策。
