Upcoming events

Measuring multi-dimensional poverty to inform policy

Executive course

Professor Sharon Bessell

25 October 2019, 9:30am-4:30pm

Crawford Building, ANU

Participants will have the opportunity to understand and critique assumptions on which mainstream measures of poverty are based, and the implications for policy. They will be introduced to tools to determine what kind of data they need to make informed policy decisions that are sensitive to gender, age and geographic location. They will have the opportunity to become familiar with the Individual Deprivation Measure (IDM), as an example of a gender-sensitive measure of multi-dimensional poverty, able to provide policy-relevant data to inform decision-making.
