| Sumario: | Abstract: This article analyses the design process of official multidimensional poverty measures
in Colombia, Chile, El Salvador and Mexico, and discusses the extent to which such
processes have been able to reflect the priorities of people living in poverty. We
argue that although these countries have faced limitations in conducting a ”pure
participatory-driven” strategy, they have advanced towards measuring poverty in a
way that better reflects what disadvantaged people consider to be an impoverished
life. We propose guidelines to continue improving the design of official
multidimensional poverty measures and make them more open to information on
what people value and more sensitive to public reasoning. |
