“…Third, as to personal characteristics, we found that men were more likely to escape from multidimensional poverty and were less likely to return to poverty than women. Women are disadvantaged in acquiring social resources, so they are more vulnerable than men (Admasu et al, 2022;Klasen and Lahoti, 2021;OECD, 2021). Older people (aged ≥65 years) had a significantly lower probability of escaping from multidimensional poverty than the mid-aged (aged between 45 and 55 years).…”

The aim of this study was to understand the dynamics of multidimensional poverty and its determinants among mid-aged and older adults. We used 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2018 data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. We utilised basic descriptive statistics, the poverty transition matrix, Kaplan–Meier estimates, and the discrete-time proportional hazards model for data analysis. From 2011 to 2018, the incidence of multidimensional poverty among mid-aged and older people basically decreased, but the average poverty intensity remained stable. Most mid-aged and older adults had transient multidimensional poverty. The longer an individual remained multidimensionally poor, the smaller the probability of exit from poverty; The longer an individual remained nonpoor after escaping from poverty, the smaller the probability of returning to poverty. As to other factors, individual characteristics, family structure, living arrangements, social capital, and living areas significantly affected the risks of multidimensional poverty exit and reentry. Based on these results, the government should implement targeted interventions for frail older adults with the identified characteristics to prevent them from persistent multidimensional poverty or return to poverty.

“…This approach emerged through OPHI (Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative) in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the Human Development Report by the United Nations Development Program. The new method has then become a reference in multidimensional research in many countries, its calculations and analysis are still undergoing development according to the needs of the observation area [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

Multidimensional poverty is an approach used to explain poverty from another point of view. Poverty is commonly measured by the benchmark poverty line (monetary poverty), which is based on the amount of expenditure for a group of consumer goods. Usually, different poverty calculation methods will produce different results. This study uses Susenas data from 2017 to 2020 for the district and city levels in Lampung Province. The calculation method used was adapted from Alkire and Santos in 2010 with some indicator adjustments. The years of education used in this study is nine years and dropouts are assessed until the ninth year. The child mortality rate is not used but replaced by additional nutritional indicators in the form of minimal consumption of calories and protein. Another omitted variable is the owner of certain property that is replaced by the floor area of the house. The results found are the number of multidimensional poverty tends to decrease in Lampung Province. In addition, the number of multidimensional poverty is greater than the amount of poverty with the monetary method. Based on this, poverty alleviation efforts need to consider various dimensions other than public expenditure.
