A multidimensional poverty index is constructed for the Philippines using the Alkire-Foster methodology and data from a 2011 annual poverty indicators survey. This is disaggregated into urban and rural population groups, as well as by dimension and administrative region. At the province level, the study finds a positive relation between poverty incidence and intensity, but the highest intensity levels are experienced in areas where incidence is not that high relative to other areas. Provinces with high incomes generally have low poverty indices and the relationship appears to be nonlinear. An examination of household poverty using mixed logit analysis shows that poverty risk rises with household size. A substantial reduction of the risk is observed for households with heads who were able to matriculate high school. The household head's health status has a negative impact on the household's risk of being poor. These are contrasted with the results using the income poverty definition. Policy implications are drawn from the calculations and the econometric results.

解释多维贫困：家庭层面的分析

使用 Alkire-Foster 方法和 2011 年年度贫困指标调查数据为菲律宾构建了多维贫困指数。这被分解为城市和农村人口群体，以及按维度和行政区域。在省级层面，研究发现贫困发生率与贫困程度呈正相关，但贫困发生率与其他地区相比并不高的地区的贫困程度最高。高收入省份的贫困指数通常较低，而且这种关系似乎是非线性的。使用混合 logit 分析对家庭贫困的检验表明，贫困风险随着家庭规模的增加而增加。对于户主能够进入高中的家庭，观察到风险显着降低。户主' 健康状况对家庭贫困风险有负面影响。这些与使用收入贫困定义的结果形成对比。政策含义来自计算和计量经济学结果。
