Multidimensional Aggregation and Measurement of Social Poverty

Multidimensional poverty and deprivation measures are increasingly used in academic research and policy evaluations. Recognizing the multidimensional nature of well-being and poverty is essential for these assessments. This paper explores various categories of social poverty and deprivation measures, employing an axiomatic framework to analyze cases where the only information available for each attribute is whether an individual is deprived of it or not.
