for assessing the effectiveness of social programs already in place to combat
poverty and inequality. Nevertheless, the choice to use census data has forced
us to make compromises. It has not been possible to approach the health
dimension by an indicator other than disability, which is debatable. It would
therefore be relevant to implement the MPI for this category of the population
in household survey data such as the national survey on consumption and
household expenditure - representative at the regional level - which covers
different areas of life including health and education, and in details. In addition
to this, many questions have been implemented in the labour survey
questionnaire, which will allow to monitor this form of poverty among women,
but also among different categories of the population such as children and
elderly. This will undoubtedly require a great deal of reflexion in order to
develop specific multidimensional poverty indices whose structure respond to
the deprivation situations of each of these categories
