What is it about?
We explored how different sectors of employment are related to poverty reduction in both the income and non-income dimensions of poverty changes. Specifically, poverty changes are decomposed into growth and redistribution effects on one hand and into within- and between-sector contributions on the other, the latter indicating intrasectoral gains versus intersectoral shifts in population. .

Why is it important?
The paper provides insight to policy-makers into a framework for action, which is needed to effectively reduce poverty in its monetary and non-monetary dimensions. Composite indices of poverty measures on household assets reflecting household access to a range of physical assets and services including human capital were constructed by polychoric principal component analysis method.
Perspectives
