PENGUKURAN KEMISKINAN UNI-DIMENSI DAN MULTI-DIMENSI SERTA FAKTOR PENENTU

Abstract

Membasmi kemiskinan dan meningkatkan tahap hidup ialah agenda pembangunan yang penting bagi sesebuah negara. Kegagalan dasar dan strategi membasmi kemiskinan di sesebuah negara antaranya disebabkan oleh definisi konsep dan pengukuran kemiskinan yang tidak jitu sehingga matlamat pembangunan tersasar. Banyak negara di dunia yang telahpun beralih daripada pengukuran kemiskinan uni-dimensi kepada pengukuran kemiskinan multi-dimensi. Objektif penulisan ini adalah untuk membincangkan tentang pengukuran kemiskinan uni-dimensi dan multi- dimensi serta indikator penentunya. Artikel ini memberi fokus kepada isu berkaitan pengukuran kemiskinan, perbandingan pengukuran uni-dimensi dan multi-dimensi, dimensi dan indikator kemiskinan multi-dimensi, dan faktor penentu kemiskinan multi-dimensi.

ABSTRACT
Eradicating poverty and improving living standards is an important development agenda for any country. Failure of policies and strategies to eradicate poverty in a country [among others] is due to poor definition of concept and measurement of poverty that could lead to failure in achieving development goals. Many countries in the world have switched from uni-dimensional poverty measurement to multi-dimensional poverty measurement. The objective of this paper is to discuss the measurement of uni-dimensional and multi-dimensional poverty and its determinants. This article focuses on issues related to poverty measurement, comparison of uni-dimensional and multi-dimensional measurement, dimensions and indicators of multi- dimensional poverty, determining factors of multi-dimensional poverty.
Keywords: uni-dimensional poverty, multi-dimensional poverty, dimensions, indicators, determinants
