MEASUREMENT OF TRENDS IN WELLBEING POVERTY AND ...

Reducing poverty and increasing wellbeing in developing countries have become central aims of
both the national policy-makers as well as the international community. With the Millennium
Development Declaration of 2000  the international community has agreed to focus on poverty
reduction and the reduction of deprivation in its many dimensions. This book investigates
conceptual and empirical issues on the measurement of trends in wellbeing  poverty  and
inequality  illustrated for Bolivia and Colombia. The book contributes significantly to filling
data gaps by combining existing data in a new way. Furthermore  it presents an important step
forward to focus more on multidimensional outcomes of wellbeing rather than on monetary inputs
and to develop tools to monitor the progress in achieving the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs).
