A Holistic Approach to Poverty

The podcast discusses a different way of looking at poverty by taking a holistic approach and measuring multi-dimensional poverty. Unlike the traditional monetary measure, multi-dimensional poverty considers various factors such as nutrition, education, health, access to electricity, and standard of living. This approach provides a more comprehensive understanding of poverty and helps governments refocus their efforts on specific areas of improvement. The podcast highlights the importance of multi-dimensional poverty indexes in identifying and addressing the complex challenges faced by impoverished communities.
