This paper examines multidimensional
poverty among forcibly displaced populations, using a
gendered lens. Although past studies have explored poverty
in forcibly displaced contexts, and others have looked at
the relationship between multidimensional poverty and
gender, none has brought together these three
issues—multidimensional poverty, forcibly displaced persons,
and gender. A tailored measure of multidimensional poverty
is developed and applied for refugees and internally
displaced populations in five Sub-Saharan African settings
substantially affected by forced displacement—Ethiopia,
Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, and Sudan. The gendered
analysis builds on prior analysis of the Multidimensional
Poverty Index (MPI) by examining individual-level
deprivations of women and men in forcibly displaced
households and host communities, as well as synthesizing
intrahousehold dynamics of multidimensional poverty in
forcibly displaced communities. The results provide insights
into the educational constraints of boys and girls living in
forcibly displaced households, the labor market inequalities
experienced by men and women in these communities, and their
differential access to legal documentation and employment as
part and parcel of the forced displacement experience. |
