How did Yemen fare between the two survey years, 2005/6 and 2014, on non-monetary measures of well-being? There are several advantages to measuring, monitoring and analyzing poverty that is based on a money-metric measures of utility. But in settings in which not all goods and services that households require to have a decent life are available for purchase in the market, monetary measures of poverty often provide only a partial picture of welfare. In particular, this section provides comparability of some non-income dimensions between two surveys.
While this section does not develop a full blown multi-dimensional poverty index for Yemen, it presents some statistics on the access of Yemeni people to some basic services that are unambiguously linked with human welfare. The spirit is to begin an exploration that will hopefully provide a well-rounded picture of poverty. This note on non-income dimensions to compare the changes over-time in Yemen. Focusing on the regional and national trends allows to make the inferences on changes in living standards in Yemen without alluding to income poverty.
