ABSTRACT

Young people in Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries are rarely recognized as a resource in decision-making processes and are systemically excluded from key policy areas on development. The aim of this article is to measure the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) of youth and to explore its determinants in selected countries of the MENA region. The key value-added of the MPI is that it identifies poverty in the dimensions of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and it conveys additional information on the composition of poverty that is not captured in single-dimensional measures.

青年多维贫困及其动态：来自中东和北非地区选定国家的证据

摘要

中东和北非 (MENA) 国家的年轻人很少被视为决策过程中的资源，并且被系统地排除在发展的关键政策领域之外。本文的目的是衡量青年的多维贫困指数 (MPI) 并探讨其在 MENA 地区选定国家的决定因素。MPI 的主要附加值是它在联合国可持续发展目标的维度中确定了贫困，并且它传达了关于贫困构成的额外信息，而这些信息在单维度衡量标准中没有体现。
