Abstract

ABSTRACT Economic Wellbeing Index (EWI) builds upon poverty measurement by shifting the unit of measurement to the individual and accounting for the barriers to wellbeing faced by persons with disabilities. Surveying Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) of Pakistan and EWI reveals that the measures were less likely to agree when the respondent was a person with disability. The discrepancy suggests that MPI may be susceptible to understating individual poverty faced by persons with disability. We conclude that further research is required to improve the veracity of EWI, and suggest that EWI could also help capture individual poverty faced by other marginalized groups.

经济福祉指数——制定残疾人福祉和贫困的包容性衡量标准

摘要经济福利指数（EWI）建立在贫困衡量的基础上，将衡量单位转移到个人身上，并考虑到残疾人面临的福利障碍。巴基斯坦和EWI的多维贫困指数调查显示，当受访者是残疾人时，这些指标不太可能达成一致。这种差异表明，MPI可能容易低估残疾人面临的个人贫困。我们得出的结论是，需要进一步的研究来提高EWI的准确性，并表明EWI也可以帮助捕捉其他边缘化群体面临的个人贫困。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Poverty is the first refereed journal to recognize the inequalities in our social, political, and economic structures, presenting progressing strategies that expand society"s increasingly narrow notions of poverty and inequality. The journal"s broad understanding of poverty—more inclusive than the traditional view—keeps the focus on people"s need for education, employment, safe and affordable housing, nutrition, and adequate medical care, and on interventions that range from direct practice to community organization to social policy analysis. The journal"s articles will increase your knowledge and awareness of oppressive forces such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that contribute to the maintenance of poverty and inequality.
