Magister Commercii - MCom / Poverty remains one of the main socio-economic issues in South Africa and is more prevalent
amongst black African females, children aged below 18 years, and rural residents with low
levels of education. Many local studies focused on money-metric measures in determining
poverty levels but few studies examined factors other than income that are also important to
multidimensional non-income welfare. Therefore, this study re-examined the extent of
multidimensional poverty in South Africa with the derivation of a Multidimensional Poverty
Index (MPI) by considering certain dimensions and indicators that have been ignored in
previous studies, such as isolation, vulnerability, voicelessness and powerlessness.
