ABSTRACT
Individual well-being is multidimensional and various aspects of the quality of life of an individual need to be jointly considered in its measurement. The axiomatic literature on the subject has proposed many indices of multidimensional poverty and deprivation and explored the properties that are at the basis of these measures; see, for example, Chakravarty et al. (1998), Tsui (2002), Bourguignon and Chakravarty (2003), Diez et al. (2008), Bossert et al. (2009), and Alkire and Foster (2011).
