This paper estimates multidimensional poverty in Bhutan applying the methodology developed by Alkire and Foster using the 2007 Bhutan Living Standard Survey data. Five dimensions are considered for estimations in both rural and urban areas: income, education, room availability, access to electricity and access to drinking water, and two additional dimensions are considered for estimates in rural areas only: access to roads and land ownership. It is found that multidimensional poverty is mainly a rural phenomenon, although urban areas present non-depreciable levels of deprivation in room availability and education. Within rural areas, weighting each indicator equally, deprivation in electricity, education room and income are the highest and similar in contribution to aggregate multidimensional poverty. When weights derived from the Gross National Happiness Survey are used, income deprivation significantly increases its contribution as it receives a higher weight. Rankings of districts by their poverty estimate are found to be robust for a wide range of poverty cutoffs. The methodology is suggested as a

This paper identifies methodologies and strategies appropriate for the development of indi-cators of well-being at the level of subnational regions, thus contributing towards the in-corporation of the subnational dimension into public policy making. Considerations in adapting and augmenting country-level indicators for application at the regional level are discussed. Special technical procedures involved in this process are described. These include consolidation of measures defined with reference to different poverty line thresholds in the income distribution, cumulation of data or measures over multiple survey waves and use of small area estimation methods. Empirical illustrations using comparable survey data from European Union countries are provided, to the extent possible with the available microdata.

September 2015 developmentprogress.org • Around a billion people continue to live in extreme poverty, on less than $1.25 a day. One third are likely to be children, although they make up just one fifth of the non-poor population. Also over one third of the poor are actually in work -an estimated 375 million people. Under the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), although poverty was reduced, the gains have been close to zero for the poorest. • One billion people age-15-and-up have either no schooling or an incomplete primary education. Poor rural girls are often particularly deprived: on average, across 79 developing countries, 44% of poor rural females had 4 years-or-less of education compared with 23% of young adults. • Close to one billion people (800 million) are malnourished -three quarters of whom live in rural areas. • In all of the above, people from minority groups are significantly overrepresented. For example, more than two thirds of education-and health-poverty is found among households where the head is a member of an ethnic minority group. Moreover, across 16 countries the poorest women from disadvantaged ethnic groups were the most likely to have been left behind by progress in education and health. • Governments will not meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) unless they tackle the specific obstacles faced by marginalised groups. Addressing discriminatory attitudes is an important part of this task and international pressure will be required to bring about normative change, particularly in countries where governments deliberately exclude some groups.
