    Gender and multidimensional poverty in Nicaragua: an individual based approach
    (Elsevier, 2018-06-18) Klasen, Stephan; Espinoza-Delgado, José; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7050-718X
    Most existing multidimensional poverty measures, such as the global-MPI and the MPI-LA, use the household as the unit of analysis, which means that the multidimensional poverty condition of the household is equated with the multidimensional poverty condition of all its members; accordingly, these measures ignore the intra-household inequalities and are gender-insensitive. Gender equality is, however, at the center of the sustainable development, as emphasized by Goal 5 of the SDGs; therefore, individual-based measures are indispensable to track progress in reaching this Goal. We contribute to the literature on multidimensional poverty and gender inequality by proposing an individual-based multidimensional poverty measure for Nicaragua and estimate the gender gaps in the three I’s of multidimensional poverty (incidence, intensity, and inequality). Overall, we find that in Nicaragua, the gender gaps in multidimensional poverty are lower than 5%, and poverty does not seem to be feminized. However, the inequality among the multidimensionally poor is clearly feminized, especially among adults, and women are living in very intense poverty when compared to men. We also find that adding a dimension (employment, domestic work, and social protection) under which women face higher deprivation into the analysis leads to larger estimates of the incidence, intensity, and inequality of women’s poverty. Finally, we find evidence that supports earlier studies that challenge the notion that female-headed households are worse off than those led by males in terms of poverty.

    Nicaragua: Trend of multidimensional poverty, 2001-2009
    (UN iLibrary, 2017-10-23) López Laborda, Julio; Espinoza-Delgado, José
    This paper estimates multidimensional poverty in Nicaragua between 2001 and 2009, using data from the three most recent standard of living surveys that are available (2001, 2005 and 2009), and mainly following the methodology proposed by Alkire and Foster (2007 and 2011). For that purpose, 10 dimensions and three weighting systems are used: equal-weightings and two other systems based on the data themselves, one based on the first principal component scores, and the other based on the relative frequencies of dimensional deprivations (both of these systems are new to Nicaragua). Overall, the results show that the incidence, intensity and severity of multidimensional poverty in Nicaragua declined in 2001-2009, and particularly so between 2001 and 2005.
