چکیده:
هدف از نگارش این مقاله، معرفی و ارائه یک چهارچوب جامع براساس دیدگاه توسعۀ پایدار در برآورد فقر چندبُعدی کودکان زیر 5 سال ایران با استفاده از روش الکایر- فوستر است تا به سیاستگذاران در جهت برنامهریزی و شناخت عوامل مؤثر در محرومیت کودکان، یاری رساند. برای این منظور، از دادههای آمارگیری شاخصهای چندگانه جمعیت و سلامت سال ۱۳۹۴ که آخرین دادههای موجود در کشور بوده، استفاده شده است. نتایج این تحقیق، دلالت بر آن دارد که کودکان مناطق روستایی در مقایسه با کودکان شهری، از فقر چندبُعدی بیشتری رنج میبرند؛ اما نوع محرومیتی که کودکان خانوارهای شهری و روستایی تجربه میکنند، متفاوت است. با توجه به نتایج کلی، در مناطق شهری دو بُعد تکامل و حمایت و در مناطق روستایی بُعدهای تکامل و استانداردهای زندگی، از درجه اهمیت بالاتری برخوردارند. بررسی شاخص فقر چندبُعدی کودکان زیر 5 سال، بهتفکیک زیرگروههای جمعیتی، حاکی از آن است که جنسیت، سطح تحصیلات مادر، بُعد خانوار، سطح توسعۀافتگی استان و پنجک اقتصادی در نوع محرومیتی که کودکان تجربه میکنند، تأثیرگذار است.
Aim and Introduction
The poverty is not affected only by income level. Some variables such as lack of access to welfare and health facilities, deprivation of education, physical weakness and vulnerability to diseases can be influential factors in poverty. Accordingly, indexes such as the poverty line, the percentage of poor people, and the intensity of poverty, which are used to study of the poverty in the society, do not fully represent the situation of poverty dimensions. Therefore, for measuring poverty in different dimensions, Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative in collaboration with United Nations Development Programme introduced the Multidimensional Poverty Index in 2010. This index includes deprivations such as low levels of health, lack of education, inadequate living standards, disability, low quality work, threats of violence, and living in areas with hazardous environments that poor people face in their daily lives. Several researches have been conducted on multidimensional poverty at the national and international levels, which have estimated the multidimensional poverty index using the Alkire-Foster methodological framework. At the same time, the multidimensional poverty of children has been neglected at the national level. This paper aims to study of multidimensional poverty among Iranian children based on the Alkire-Foster methodological framework. The multidimensional poverty of under five children using Multiple Indicator Demographic and Health Survey data in four dimensions of "living standards", "health", "support" and "development" has been measured.
Methodology
The Alkire-Foster methodology has been used for measuring the multidimensional poverty index. For measuring the children multidimensional poverty index (MPI) in Iran, data of the Multiple Indicator Demographic and Health Survey has been used. This survey covers the latest available data on various sociodemographic and health subjects of children, women and men. A comprehensive and new framework for measuring child poverty in Iran has been provided using the indicators of child mortality, cooking fuel, drinking water, sanitation discharge and housing from the global framework. The other indicators such as vaccination index and insufficient care has been extracted from other researches.
Findings
The results show that MPI of children in Iran is equal to 0.002. The incidence of multidimensional poverty is 0.5% and the intensity of child poverty is 38.6%. In general, the results show that girls compared to boys experience more multidimensional poverty and as mothers' education levels increase, children experience less multidimensional poverty. Children who live in large households (5 people or more) experience more multidimensional poverty compared to children who live in small households. Children in developed provinces experience multidimensional poverty less than other children and finally, children under five in the first economic quintile (the lowest economic level of the society) have the highest multidimensional poverty among all households in Iran.
Among children under five whose mothers have primary education, "health" dimension plays the most important role in measuring the multidimensional poverty index. In less developed provinces, the most important factor in mesearunig multidimensional poverty among children under five is "child development" dimension. Also, in households that have a low level of economic and social status (based on economic quintile variable), “child development " and "living standards” are important respectively.
Discussion and Conclusion
The purpose of presenting the Child multidimensional poverty index is to provide understandable and important statistics for clarify level and form of multidimensional poverty. The findings of this study, which was conducted for the first time in Iran, show that although value of the child multidimensional poverty index based on "living standards”, "health", "support" and "child development" is not a large number, however children in social and demographic groups have had encounters with different levels of multidimensional poverty. Considering that the growth and development of the children in the appropriate context is the basis for formation of a healthy and stable family and developed society, it is necessary to make policies in order to reduce the multidimensional poverty of children.

Multidimensional Poverty Index چهارچوب روشی الکایر- فوستر، به عنوان یکی از پرکاربردترین روش های اندازه گیری فقر چندُبعدی، روشی مبتنی بر شمارش است که توسط سازمان ملل متحد برای ایجاد شاخص فقر چندُبعدی جهانی ١ (GMPI) مورد استفاده قرار میگیرد.
در این مقاله ، اندازه گیری فقر چندُبعدی کودکان صفر تا ٥ ساله با استفاده از داده های آمارگیری شاخص های چندگانۀ جمعیت و سلامت ٢(MIDHS) سال ١٣٩٤، با روش الکایر- فوستر در چهارُ بعد «استانداردهای زندگی»، «سلامت »، «حمایت » و «تکامل » با نماگرهای مرتبط مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است .
(OPHI, Measuring Multidimensional Poverty among Children) برخی از کشورها مانند افغانستان ١ (٢٠١٩)، بوتان ٢ (٢٠١٧) و نپال ٣ (٢٠١٨) نیز شاخص فقر چندُبعدی را به تفکیک گروه های سنی محاسبه کرده اند و نتایج ، نیز مطابق با یافته های جهانی بوده ، و نشان میدهد که فقر در میان کودکان ، بیشتر از بزرگسالان است .
چهار بعد اصلی شامل آموزش ، سلامت ، استانداردهای زندگی و توسعۀ کودکان و دوازده نماگر با وزن های مساوی برای محاسبۀ فقر چندُبعدی مورد توجه قرار گرفته است .
