تحليل الفقر المتعدد الأبعاد في الدول العربية

Abstract EN

This research aims to apply the methodology used to measure poverty according to the multi-dimensional poverty perspective on a sample of Arab countries and compare it with the traditional surveys that were previously adopted in measuring poverty in these countries according to the monetary income approach, to provide a technical analysis of the conditions of poverty in its various dimensions while clarifying its causes.

This paper puts some practical suggestions for inclusion in anti-poverty policies in all its dimensions in the Arab countries.

According to the analysis presented in this study, it is clear that Arab countries face significant challenges in reducing poverty.

Data indicate that multidimensional poverty is more prevalent than imagined, and tens of millions of families are vulnerable to falling into poverty, although extreme poverty is low Relatively in most Arab countries, however, poverty is widespread and not limited to low-income Arab countries.

These challenges require that special attention be paid to the recommendations listed in this research.
