En savoir plus sur le livre
Focusing on multidimensional poverty, the book explores its incidence and intensity in the U.S., advocating for a broader understanding beyond income-based measures. It introduces the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) and its relevance for public policy. The analysis includes demographic variations and the impact of the Affordable Care Act, as well as differences between native and foreign-born residents. Empirical studies reveal the determinants of poverty, while counterfactual exercises assess the effects of eliminating specific deprivations, leading to significant policy discussions in the concluding chapters.
