Beyond Income: Rethinking Poverty with Sabina Alkire

Is poverty simply about income, or is it about opportunities, health, education, dignity, and the freedom to live the life you value? In this episode, we are joined by Professor Sabina Alkire, Director of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) at the University of Oxford and one of the pioneers of multidimensional poverty measurement. We talk about her remarkable academic journey, the ideas behind the Multidimensional Poverty Index, how it has shaped public policy around the world, and why measuring poverty differently can ultimately help improve millions of lives.A fascinating conversation for anyone interested in economics, development, and evidence-based public policy. 🎙 Hosted by MPP students Diego Peñaranda and Cecilia Esteche. #OxfordPolicyPod #UniversityOfOxford #Oxford #PublicPolicy #HumanDevelopment #MultidimensionalPoverty #DevelopmentEconomics #EvidenceBasedPolicy
