Welfare Poverty Measurement Journal of Human Development and Capabilities (IF 2.094) Pub Date : 2023-06-01 Antonio Villar

R. 1983. “Ethically Flexible Measures of Poverty.” Canadian Journal of Economics 16: 74–85]. A multidimensional poverty index is derived here from a social welfare function and a vector of poverty thresholds, following the aggregate

Participatory Wellbeing Frameworks and the Secret to Impact Journal of Human Development and Capabilities (IF 2.094) Pub Date : 2023-04-21 Kate Sollis
ABSTRACT Research and policy based on the Capability Approach inherently seeks to improve the lives of individuals and communities in a meaningful way. One operationalisation of this is the development of participatory wellbeing frameworks, which ask communities “what does wellbeing mean to you?”. However, there has so far been very little understanding on the extent to which participatory wellbeing

Democratic Dead Spots: Local Elections and Human Development in Brazil Journal of Human Development and Capabilities (IF 2.094) Pub Date : 2023-01-11 Natasha Borges Sugiyama, Michael Touchton, Brian Wampler
ABSTRACT Democracy’s proponents argue that decentralisation improves service delivery, expands local accountability, and engages citizens in public life. However, the combination of democratisation and decentralisation sometimes sustains subnational authoritarianism, resulting in differential redistribution of power that limit citizens’ ability to pursue and secure public goods. In this article we

ABSTRACT The capabilities approach and participatory research are effective means to promote epistemic justice in higher education. Both have important roles, given the current commoditisation of University knowledge and professional practice, which do not promote inclusive epistemes that take into account the social problems of disadvantaged groups.

Leaving no Country Behind: A Fuzzy Approach for Human Development Journal of Human Development and Capabilities (IF 2.094) Pub Date : 2022-07-28 F. García-Pardo, S. Pérez-Moreno, E. Bárcena-Martín
ABSTRACT “Leaving no one behind” (LNOB) constitutes one of the core principles underpinning the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We propose a complementary fuzzy logic approach to identify countries left behind in human development and each of its dimensions. We find that the countries left furthest behind at the beginning of the century were those that most reduced gaps with respect to better

“We Look Ahead Where his Thoughts Never Reach”: Pakistani Mothers’ Agency to Expand Educational Opportunities for Their Daughters and the Theorisation of Negative Capability Journal of Human Development and Capabilities (IF 2.094) Pub Date : 2022-06-22 Aliya Khalid, Pauline Rose
ABSTRACT Juxtaposed against literature that views mothers’ role for their daughters’ education as a human capital this paper reimagines their role by foregrounding Pakistani mothers’ agency in contexts with limited opportunities. This is achieved by theorising negative capability (NC) as an analytical framework drawing on available theorisations of the concept and define it as an agentive passive refusal

Measuring Covid Mortality Journal of Human Development and Capabilities (IF 2.094) Pub Date : 2022-06-14 S. Subramanian
ABSTRACT The most widely used measure of covid mortality is a headcount ratio of deaths due to covid, as captured by the case fatality rate, which is the ratio of covid deaths to covid cases. This is a relative measure of mortality, in contrast to the absolute measure of an aggregate headcount, as captured by the gross or aggregate fatality, which is just the raw (non-normalized) number of covid deaths

ABSTRACT In health economics, proponents of the capability approach argue that the value of health improvements should be evaluated us broad domains which reflect the capabilities of an individual. Instruments have been developed to measure these domains. These instruments operationalise the measurement of capability in different ways. The objective of this study is to analyze specifically how instruments
