dc.description.abstract | This paper aims at measuring and analyzing the non-monetary aspect of multidimensional poverty by the basic needs according to the characteristics of household head. This is the first study in this matter in Togo and using the Multidimensional Correspondence Analysis (MCA) techniques to construct a Composite Poverty Indicator (CPI). Moreover, we use the most recent data from the country survey QUIBB 2006. The results of the incidence of multidimensional poverty by two approaches (MCA and FGT) suggest that the households with larger size, living in rural area, whose head is male, aged between 51 and 99, less educated are the poorest. The findings are the same as those found in the monetary approach at the poverty line, leading to a conclusion that there is a positive correlation between monetary and non-monetary poverty. Finally, we propose some recommendations in terms of socioeconomic policies for alleviating multidimensional poverty. | |
