Abstract | Since the last few years, poverty is treated as a multidimensional phenomenon. Poverty in Tunisia is considered in most reports by referring to a monetary approach and this shows a very strong decrease in the rate of poverty. In this article, we study poverty following a multidimensional approach. First, we focus on the country realizations in terms of the the Millennium Development Objectives (MDG). Second, we use to “Main Component Analysis” to calculate a composite index of prosperity for every governorate. Results from this index construction show strong disparity between regions and an obstinacy of the poverty in number of governorates. More in-depth analysis, concerning the poorest governorates, allowed us to precisely localize the chronic poverty pockets. |
