OPHI Workshop

09:00 - 19:30 BST
Oxford Department of International Development

These workshops launched OPHI's research themes on the 'Missing Dimensions of Poverty Data' and 'Multidimensional Poverty Comparisons'.

Missing Dimensions of Poverty Data

This topic was proposed by a research workshop in May 2006, which observed that research is deeply affected by the lack of internationally comparable data on key capabilities or dimensions of deprivation and agreed that better data based on high quality empirical and conceptual research are needed. The workshop considered proposals for a short list of indicators that people cite as important in their experiences of poverty but are generally missing from internationally comparable surveys to date.
