Shatakshee Dhongde, associate professor in the School of Economics, published "Multidimensional Poverty in the US" in Public Health Post. The article summarizes her recent research on the subject.
"Despite having income above a poverty threshold, an individual may still be deprived in other dimensions such as education, housing, or health," Dhongde wrote. "When an individual suffers multiple such deprivations at the same time, the consequences for quality of life far exceed the sum of each separate deprivation."
