ABSTRACT

This study adopted the multidimensional poverty approach as an alternative method of poverty measurement through case study analysis in Song Sarawak, East Malaysia. Using three dimensions of education, health, and living standards, this study found that the Iban community in song is critically deprived in asset indicator and education dimension. However, the community is less deprived in term of health dimension. Therefore, this study proves that additional indicators are necessary to complement the monetary indicator for the poverty measurement. This is important to enhance existing alleviation poverty programmes and provide the necessary assistance for the needy.

东马伊班社区的多维贫困和福祉

摘要

本研究通过东马宋砂拉越的案例研究分析，采用多维贫困方法作为贫困测量的替代方法。本研究利用教育、健康和生活水平三个维度发现，歌曲中的伊班族群在资产指标和教育维度上被严重剥夺。然而，社区在健康方面的剥夺较少。因此，本研究证明，需要额外的指标来补充衡量贫困的货币指标。这对于加强现有的扶贫项目并为有需要的人提供必要的帮助非常重要。
