本文关注的是撒哈拉以南非洲地区以全球多维贫困指数（Global MPI）衡量的多维贫困的变化。利用35个国家的数据，我们描述了国家层面多维贫困水平、强度和构成的变化。对于一部分国家，我们讨论了次国家层面的结果，并对收入贫困的变化进行了简要比较。我们的研究结果表明，30个国家（占我们样本中92%的人口）至少在一个比较中显著减少了全球多维贫困指数衡量的多维贫困，并显著减少了贫困人口的比例。从各国内部来看，我们发现不同的减贫模式，一些国家为最贫穷地区减贫，而其他国家的较贫穷地区似乎没有从普遍减贫中获得同样程度的好处。在比较收入和多维度减贫趋势时，我们发现了显著差异，这表明减贫的整体方法应该同时考虑多维度和收入贫困。
This paper focuses on changes in multidimensional poverty, as measured by the Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (Global MPI) in Sub-Saharan Africa. Using data for 35 countries, we describe the changes in the level, intensity and composition of multidimensional poverty at the national level. For a subset of countries we discuss results at the sub-national level and provide a brief comparison to changes in income poverty. Our findings suggest that 30 countries, home to 92% of the population in our sample, significantly reduced multidimensional poverty as measured by the Global MPI for at least one comparison and significantly reduced the share of poor people. Looking within countries, we find different patterns of poverty reductions, with some countries reducing poverty for the poorest regions, while poorer regions in other countries do not seem to benefit from the general reduction in poverty to the same extent. When comparing trends in income and multidimensional poverty reduction we find significant differences, indicating that a holistic approach to poverty reduction should look at both, multidimensional and income poverty.
