This edited collection provides a comprehensive examination of multidimensional poverty for a wide variety of economies and societies, with a general focus on multidimensional poverty in developed countries, where poverty is often overlooked. Arguing that income- and consumption-based poverty measures cannot provide a full picture of the presence and extent of poverty, the contributors suggest new ways to structure assessment indexes. Complementing the discussion of new rubrics, a series of single-country and comparative examples from Europe and the United States examine variation in multidimensional poverty incidence and the extent of deprivation. This combination of methodology and application will appeal to academics, researchers, and policymakers alike.

Roger White is Professor of Economics at Whittier College, USA, where he holds the Douglas W. Ferguson Chair in International Economics. His research largely focuses on international trade, migration, cultural economics, and economic globalization. White is the author of four books, and he has published more than three dozen peer-reviewed articles and book chapters.
