The multidimensional poverty index is an indicator system established for defining and evaluating poverty, to understand poverty in dimensions beyond just monetary scarcity. Based on income, education, health, living standards, and social dimensions, this article measures and analyzes the level of multidimensional poverty in Xinjiang using the AlkireFoster method, with cross-sectional data obtained from a 2022 survey. Probit model is constructed for regression analysis, further considering the impact of education on enhancing feasible capabilities and alleviating multidimensional poverty at the post-poverty alleviation era. The data shows that many people still face significant challenges from the perspective of multidimensional poverty; the decomposition results of each dimension show that education contributes more to the multidimensional poverty; the regression analysis results show that the higher the education level, the lower the multidimensional poverty; heterogeneity analysis revealed that the inhibitory effect of education on multidimensional poverty is greater for females than males, and the poverty reduction effect of education mainly concentrates on middle-aged and older individuals. This article is meaningful for exploring strategies to alleviate multidimensional poverty in ethnic minority regions in frontier areas in the new era, accelerating regional economic development, and achieving shared prosperity.

The characteristics of poverty can be comprehensively revealed from the two angles of income and multidimensional. This paper compares China's rural income poverty measure with multidimensional poverty index using data from China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) by focusing on the static and dynamic disparities, and analyzes the factors influencing poverty through the Logit model. The results show that there exists a substantial mismatch in who is deemed poor, 60 percent of multidimensional poverty households are not considered poor in terms of income poverty, and 70 percent of income poverty households are not considered poor in terms of multidimensional poverty; There is a high level of disparity between the dynamics of the two measures of poverty. Among those who rose in the income dimension, only about 7 percent also rose in the multidimensional measure from 2016 to 2018.

This study identified the rate of income poverty and multidimensional poverty, correlation between income poverty and multidimensional poverty, and adjusted multidimensional poverty rate. We also analyzed the factors that affected the number of poverty dimension and the probability of belonging to the poor or not in 3,159 elderly households including 474 poor households and 2,685 middle class households. First, in poor households, the employment poverty rate was the highest and the housing poverty rate was the lowest. In middle class households, the relation poverty rate was the highest and the employment poverty rate was the lowest. Second, in poor households, correlation between asset poverty and relation poverty had the highest coefficient of .205 and asset poverty and housing poverty had the lowest coefficient of .149. In middle class households, the correlation between income poverty and relation poverty had highest coefficient of -.290 and employment poverty and relation poverty had the lowest coefficient of .038. Third, in poor households, the number of average poverty dimension was 4.30, but the number of average poverty dimensions of middle class households was 2.310. Fourth, the variable affecting the number of poverty dimensions in poor households were gender, age, level of education, marital status; however, the significant variables were gender, education level, marital status, income poverty in the middle class households. The variable that affected the probability of belonging to the poor or not in poor households was age. However, the significant variables were gender, education level, marital status, residence, and income poverty in middle class households.

다차원적 빈곤접근에 있어 빈자의 구분방식에는 복합지수방식, 합집합 및 교집합방식이 있는데 이들 방식들은 타당하지 않은 문제들이 있었다. Alkire와 Foster는 이 문제를 해소하는 방법으로 합집합과 교집합의 중간 형태로서 결핍차원들의 개수를 경계선으로 이용하는 차원계수방식을 이론화하였다. 차원계수방식에 의해 우리나라의 다차원적 빈곤을 측정한 결과, 3개 결핍차원을 정책적 차원빈곤선으로 하는 경우 다차원적 빈곤율은 20% 수준으로서 10명 중 2명이 다차원적으로 빈곤하였다. 다차원적 빈곤율이 높은 것은 자산, 소득, 사회보장, 건강 등 여러 차원으로 결핍의 폭이 넓은데 기인하였다. 여성, 한 부모, 노인, 비경제활동인구 등 취약계층일수록 다차원 빈곤의 폭이 넓고 가중되고 있었다. 연구결과 현행 기초생활보장제도가 탈 빈곤유도와 기초생활보장이라는 두 가지 정책목표를 각각 효과적으로 달성하기 위해서는 근로능력 유무에 따라 수급자선정과 지원체제를 이원화하고 차원계수방식을 적용하는 것이 유용하다고 본다.

This study analyzed the poverty rate by poverty dimension, correlation between multidimensional poverty, variables that affected the number of poverty dimension and the probability of the poor or not. The sample consisted of 6,361 elderly households (1,561 baby boom birth cohort, 1,793 post-liberation birth cohort, 3,007 Japanese colonial period birth cohort) taken from the $12^{th}$ Korean Welfare Panel Study. First, the highest poverty rate among the baby boom birth cohort was 62.8% of employment poverty. The highest rate among the post-liberation birth cohort and Japanese colonial period birth cohort, was 82.5%, 92.3% of health poverty, respectively. Second, the highest coefficient in the baby boom birth cohort was .354 for asset poverty and relation poverty. In the remaining two cohorts, the coefficient for asset poverty and relation poverty was the highest at .268, .284, respectively. Third, the average number of poverty dimensions was 2.318 of the baby boom birth cohort, 2.921 of the post-liberation birth cohort, 3.564 of the poverty in the Japanese colonial period birth cohort. Also, the poverty rate for each cohort was 20.179%, 28.779%, and 50.083%, respectively. Fourth, the significant variables in all cohorts were gender, education, marital status, residence, and equalized ordinary income for the multiple regression analysis on the number of poverty dimensions. Additionally, age of the post-liberation birth cohort was significant, age and family numbers of the Japanese colonial period birth cohort were significant. Significant variables in logistic analysis on the probability of poverty or not were the same as those of regression analysis.

The main objective of this study was to investigate the impact of access to finance on the different dimensions of poverty. To achieve the objectives of the study, the participants/beneficiaries of the Mudra scheme were included and sample of target respondents was extracted through multistage random sampling technique. The sample for the study was taken from the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir of India. The study further utilized secondary data from the government official websites and lead banks. A paired t-test was applied to test the impact of access to finance across the various dimensions of poverty by constructing the Multidimensional Poverty Index(MPI), after checking the normality of the data. MPI incorporates dimensions such as education, health, and standard of living.The finding of the study revealed that dimensions of poverty responded positively to access to finance. The study shows that larger access to finance has helped in reducing the multidimensional poverty by having moderate, but positive impact on the standard of living, health, and education, thereby improving the lives of the poor. The present study identified that the level of impact of access to finance is moderate and further explains its importance for policy implications.

이 연구의 목적은 다양한 차원의 박탈지표를 이용하여 아동빈곤의 특성을 규명하는 것이다. 이 연구의 목적을 위해 2012년 7차 한국복지패널조사자료를 이용하였으며, 잠재집단 분석기법을 활용하여 아동빈곤 집단을 유형화하였다. 분석결과, 아동이 있는 가구를 주거비 과부담, 다차원 박탈, 비빈곤 등 세 개의 집단으로 유형화하였다. 주거비 과부담 집단은 다른 영역에서 박탈은 높지 않지만, 주거비 부담이 높은 집단이다. 다차원 박탈 집단은 열악한 주거환경, 식생활 영역 및 고용 등의 다양한 차원에서 박탈을 경험할 확률이 높은 집단이다. 마지막으로 비빈곤 집단은 박탈을 경험할 가능성이 매우 낮은 집단이다. 잠재집단의 특성을 파악하기 위해 다항로짓분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과, 다차원 박탈집단은 다른 두 집단과 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 비빈곤 집단과 주거비 과부담 집단 간에는 큰 차이를 보이지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 분석결과는 아동이 거주하는 가구의 복지, 교육, 문화적 자원의 박탈 등 다차원적인 문제에 대한 통합적인 접근이 필요함을 시사한다.

This study examines the poverty indicators in Northeast region of Thailand by adopting the global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) methodology and the national survey of Minimum Basic Needs (MBN) of Thailand. Data are collected from three different districts in Khon Kaen province namely: Khok Po Chai, Sam Sung, and Nam Pong. The sample size is 187 households. Data analysis uses Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression approach and includes 7 dimensions of poverty (health, environment, education, economy, Thai value, asset? empowerment, and digital literacy) with a total of 41 indicators. This study has found that poverty indicators in Khon Kaen province remains centered around the aspects of health and employment dimensions. While a change of family structure in the Thai society since 1960s reduces the family size, household saving substantially increases over the years. The effects of health dimension in poverty, on the other hand, appears on the other poverty dimension of Thai value, which include (1) a bad living habit of head of household (smoke or alcohol consumption) that links with illness and disease, (2) religious practice, and (3) chronic illness. Lastly, there are income gaps of different careers in the area, which suggests the issue of income inequality.

본 연구는 동태적 관점에서 중·고령자의 노인기로의 이행과정에서 다차원 빈곤의 변화 궤적을 살펴보고 이에 대한 영향요인을 확인하는 것이다. 한국복지패널(2006년~2018년) 자료를 활용하여, 2006년 만 55세 이상 중·고령자 중 예비노인과 전기노인 집단별로 13년간의 다차원 빈곤 변화 궤적을 잠재성장모형을 통해 살펴보았다. 다차원 빈곤은 경제(소득, 고용), 환경(주거), 건강, 사회문화(여가, 가족관계, 사회적 관계) 등 4영역에서 7가지 차원으로 구분하였다. 분석결과, 다차원 빈곤 궤적은 시간의 흐름에 따라 그 수준이 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 전체적인 빈곤 수준은 전기노인이 예비노인과 전체 평균보다 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 독립변수를 투입한 조건모형 분석결과 예비노인은 배우자유무와 교육수준, 전기노인은 성별과 교육수준 순으로 빈곤 변화에 영향을 미치는 변수가 상이한 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 다차원 빈곤은 점차 개선되고 있으나, 연령집단별로 변화율 및 영향을 미치는 변수가 다르므로, 노후빈곤 대책 마련 시 연령 집단별 특성이 고려되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 청년빈곤이 소득결핍만이 아닌, 주거결핍, 근로결핍, 건강결핍등 삶의 다양한 차원에서의 결핍으로 나타나고 있음을 주목함과 동시에 상대적으로 관심이 부족했던 여성청년 가구의 빈곤 및 결핍을 다차원적으로 분석한다. 다차원적 빈곤은 소득, 근로, 주거, 건강의 네 가지 차원으로 측정하였다. 표본은 한국복지패널 10년치 자료에서 pooling한 2630명의 1인 가구 여성청년이다. 분석도구는 SPSS 통계프로그램을 사용하였고 분석틀은 차원별 결핍율, 결핍차원간 상관분석, N개 차원 빈곤 중첩률이며 이를 위해 빈도분석, 평균분석, 상관분석 등의 기술통계법을 사용하였다. 분석 결과 우리나라 여성청년은 근로와 주거에서 다른 차원에 비해 상대적으로 결핍율이 높게 나타났으며 이 두개 차원이 동시에 빈곤인 여성청년 비율도 다른 경우에 비해 상대적으로 높았다. 이러한 결과를 근거로 본 연구는 청년 여성 맞춤형 일자리 서비스 구축, 강소기업과의 일자리 매칭, 장기전세주택 대상자 중 청년여성 1인 가구 할당 등을 제안하는 바이다. 이와 함께 여성청년 스스로의 공유경제 공동체 설립 등도 대안적으로 고려되어야 할 것이다.
