The main aim of this study is to measure the extent of multidimensional poverty in Kabul and compare different areas. The research method is a survey. The data collection tool is a researcher-made questionnaire. The statistical population of the study is all households living in Kabul. Since the residents of Kabul is over 6 million people, we use Cochran's formula. We selected 300 families. According to the research background, the judges determined the validity of the questionnaire. We used Cronbach's Alpha calculation to determine the questionnaire's reliability. The value of which was (78.9%) on average for different sections. To perform statistical tests, we use SPSS software. The results show that generally, households in Kabul are not the poor according to the dimensions and criteria of multidimensional poverty; because the maximum deprivation rate is less than (40 %(. Partly, the highest poverty rates were related to the criteria such as (37%) deprivation in the roof of the house, (28.7%) deprivation in the wall of the house, (27.3%) deprivation of literacy in adults, and (18.8%) deprivation in the per capita room. The lowest deprivation rates were (0.3%) for electricity, (1%) for bathrooms, (2.3%) for children, (4.3%) for disability, (4.4%) for drinking water, (6.7%) for unemployment, (6.7%) for children, (8%) for household floors, and (9.7%) for health services. There are no restrictions on child labor, heating facilities, and cooking fuel. Also, among the surveyed areas, District 4 has the highest deprivation and poverty in terms of education, living standards, work, and housing compared to other selected areas of Kabul city.

In spite of taking and implementing various special measures by the government of Punjab and the Pakistan to alleviate poverty in Punjab, poverty is still there and has become a constraint in the way of economic progress and prosperity of the people of the Punjab-Pakistan. Poverty is pronounced deprivation in well-being. The conventional view links well-being primarily to command over commodities, so the poor are those who do not have enough income or consumption to put them above some adequate minimum threshold. The broadest approach to well-being and hence poverty focuses on the capability of the individual to properly function in the society. The poor lack key capabilities, and may have inadequate income or education, and last but not the least living standards. How we measure poverty can importantly influence how we come to understand it, how we analyse it, and how we create policies to influence it. In recent years, the literature on multidimensional poverty measurement has blossomed in a number of different directions. The 1997 Human Development Report vividly introduced poverty as a multidimensional phenomenon, and the Millennium Declaration and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have highlighted multiple dimensions of poverty since 2000.

In this paper, the reasons for marginal growth in Mashhad were examined. Marginalization in the areas around the city was reviewed and the margin management in the direction of empowerment was evaluated. The main goal is to find solutions for better management of marginalized areas based on empowerment approach. Research method is descriptive-analytic and data are obtained through documentary and field studies (completed questionnaires). In order to test the research hypotheses, statistical analysis of factor analysis, analysis of variance, Spearman correlation coefficient and Mann-Whitney test have been used. The statistical population consists of 922282 people in eight marginal areas of Mashhad that includes 66 marginal neighborhoods. From statistical population, 400 people were selected as samples. To obtain sample size, the Cochran formula has been used with a 95% confidence interval and a standard error of 5%. The research findings show that the best solution for better management of the marginalized areas is the economic empowerment of the marginalized population, which, of course, has been implemented for empowerment. In the field and practical part, 384 randomly selected questionnaires were completed by residents of marginal neighborhoods of Mashhad. Finally, in the analytical section, the information obtained in the above steps was analyzed using the SPSS software program.

Difficult Subject

We usually see the poor through lenses of physical poverty. Unfortunately, we have few measures to gauge the “lost” or spiritually poor. Spiritual indices developed by World Vision are described and then examined using four statistical tests. Results show that the indices are generally reliable. The measures, however, should be used in tandem as spiritual poverty is a very difficult subject to evaluate objectively.

So it is hoped that readers can find out and analyze UMKM within the scope of the region as an effort to minimize unemployment and increase living standards. This paper use qualitative research method with a qualitative descriptive approach. Establishing UMKM is certainly not an easy thing, because the large number of workers does not guarantee UMKM, who is determined by the appropriate expertise and strategy.

Per Capita Consumption

This paper reports an experiment in 640 Indonesian villages on three approaches to target the poor: proxy means tests (PMT), where assets are used to predict consumption; community targeting, where villagers rank everyone from richest to poorest; and a hybrid. Defining poverty based on PPP$2 per capita consumption, community targeting and the hybrid perform somewhat worse in identifying the poor than PMT, though not by enough to significantly affect poverty outcomes for a typical program. Elite capture does not explain these results. Instead, communities appear to apply a different concept of poverty. Consistent with this finding, community targeting results in higher satisfaction.

In the recent literature, consensus has emerged that poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon; see Alkire and Santos (2010) for a review of the major arguments. Nonetheless, the most widely used measures of poverty remain unidimensional, being based on income or caloric intake cutoffs. The logic for the use of income based measures was that it was only lack of income which led to deprivation—with sufficient income; rational agents would automatically eliminate deprivations in all dimensions in the right sequence of priorities. However, careful studies like Thorbecke (2005) and Banerjee and Duflo (2006) show that this does not happen. Even while malnourished and underfed, the poor spend significant portions of their budgets on festivals, weddings, alcohol, tobacco and other non-essential items. The move from abstract theoretical speculation based on mathematical models of human behaviour to experiments and observations of actual behaviour has led to dramatic changes in the understanding of poverty and how to alleviate it. Some of these insights are encapsulated in a new approach to poverty advocated by Banerjee and Duflo (2011).
