“…Individuals who experience multiple deprivations at the same time are particularly vulnerable to additional economic and social hardships, so it is crucial to assess the impacts of interventions on multidimensional deprivations, especially social protection policies, which are important tools for poverty reduction in developing countries. One issue with common measures of poverty, both monetary and multidimensional, is that they are most often household-based and overlook intra-household allocation, which can result in an underestimation of gender inequality among the poor (Espinoza-Delgado and Klasen 2018 ). We address this issue directly in this paper by creating a novel individual-level measure for multidimensional deprivation among young women in South Africa and examining the impact of a conditional cash transfer program on this unique measure.…”

Despite the growing popularity of multidimensional poverty measurement and analysis, its use to measure the impact of social protection programs remains scarce. Using primary data collected for the evaluation of HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 068, a randomized, conditional cash transfer intervention for young girls in South Africa that ran from 2011 to 2015, we construct an individual-level measure of multidimensional poverty, a major departure from standard indices that use the household as the unit of analysis. We construct our measure by aggregating multiple deprivation indicators across six dimensions and using a system of nested weights where each domain is weighted equally. Our findings show that the cash transfer consistently reduces deprivations among girls, in particular through the domains of economic agency, violence, and relationships. These results show how social protection interventions can improve the lives of young women beyond single domains and demonstrate the potential for social protection to simultaneously address multiple targets of the SDGs.

“…Objective of this study is to mention and highlight the needs to focus on judicial process of society, and to take into account the injustice as a dimension of poverty. According to SDGs, it is important to reduce or eliminate the poverty in all its dimensions (Ahmed et al, 2018;Alkire & Jahan, 2018;Espinoza-delgado & Klasen, 2018). So to meet the objective of study the judicial problems of the people are categorized into six further factors.…”

Pakistan's Vision 2025 demonstrates to improve the economic growth and eradicate poverty. It is observed from literature that poverty has different dimensions, it cannot be limited to monetary deprivation but it should have extended to all its possible dimensions. In order to eradicate the poverty, it should be clearly defined in all aspects. In literature poverty is pronounced as multi-dimensional phenomenon, and also measured in different dimensions like health, education, living standard, and social and political aspects. In presence and discussion of these poverty dimensions, there is one important dimension of poverty which is commonly perceived but not yet discussed in literature. This missing aspect of poverty is lack of justice or injustice in society, this concept is so important that it is the root cause of all other problems. The objective of this research is highlight the judicial statistics in Pakistan, and to suggest that injustice also is dimension of poverty. For the comparison and elaborate the need of focusing on judicial problems, the secondary data obtained from the survey of more than 46000 people in 45 countries. It is observed that 80 to 89 percent of peoples involved in judicial process belong to top five countries; Pakistan is at second position among the selected 45 countries. Statistics show that 85% people in Pakistan involved in litigation process, this is alarming position in current scenario, and require much attention from policy makers and Government toward judicial sector. Public trust on Government institution shows the trust of people on their government, but this indicator is also poor in Pakistan, only 14 percent people use government institutes as 3 rd party in their disputes resolution. Justice should be quick in society, Pakistan is lowest in this ranking, and 67% of registered complaints are under litigation process. Here the underpinning question has been answered that either the injustice is the cause of poverty or poverty creates injustice. So it is concluded that to eliminate the poverty, it is prior condition to define the poverty in all its dimensions, access to justice is the fundamental right of people living in society, and is also the root cause of many other problems, so it should be included as the part of poverty when to define the poverty. A problem can only be solved, when it is defined in proper and complete essence.

“…Khazaeian et al (2018) from Iran showed that this group of women are faced with problems such as less access to job opportunities, lower levels of education among the women and their children, increased delinquency in their children, and various dimensions of poverty [ 5 ]. Being a woman, these household heads are also faced with more socioeconomic problems and have less assets than men [ 6 ].…”

Background Female household heads are faced with more problems than men due to their multiple concurrent roles. The present study was conducted to determine the relationship of supportive roles with mental health and satisfaction with life in female household heads in Karaj, Iran using a structural equations model. Methods The present descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 286 eligible female household heads in Karaj, Iran, in 2020, who were selected by convenience sampling. Data were collected using Vaux’s Social Support, the perceived social support scale, the general health questionnaire (GHQ), and the satisfaction with life questionnaire plus a socio-demographic checklist, and were analyzed in SPSS-16 and Lisrel-8.8. Results The participants’ mean age was 43.1 ± 1.7 years. According to the path analysis results, satisfaction with life had the highest direct positive relationship with perceived social support (B = 0.33) and the highest indirect positive relationship with age (B = 0.13) and the highest direct and indirect positive relationship with education and social support (B = 0.13). Also, mental health had a direct negative relationship with satisfaction with life (B = -0.29), an indirect negative relationship with social support, and both a direct and indirect negative relationship with perceived support (B = -0.26). Conclusion Based on the results, supportive roles had a negative relationship with mental health; in other words, mental health problems increase as supportive roles decrease. They also had a positive relationship with satisfaction with life in female household heads. Accordingly, given the status and role of women in the health of family members and the community and their greater vulnerability, further attention and support should be directed toward these women by the government and relevant organizations like establishment of counseling-support centers.
