This paper focuses on interdependent multidimensional poverty of time and income with its incidence and intensity. We introduce a Two Dimensional Minimum Poverty Gap (2DGAP) measure, which quantifies the shortest path to escape multidimensional poverty. The 2DGAP disentangles single poverty attribute gaps while assuring their interdependence; an important issue for targeted antipoverty policies. Besides ...

This study contributes to the multidimensional poverty discussion in two ways. First, we argue for and consider time—in particular genuine personal leisure time—as an important and prominent resource, additional to income, for everyday activities and individual well-being. Second, we evaluate and quantify the interdependence among the multiple poverty dimensions (via a CES well-being function and SOEP ...

Entrepreneurs and freelancers, the self-employed, commonly are characterized as not only to be relatively rich in income but also as to be rich in time because of their time-sovereignty in principle. Our introducing study scrutinises these results and notions about the well-being situation of self-employed persons not only by asking about traditional single income poverty but also by considering time ...

A growing polarization of society accompanied by an erosion of the middle class is receiving increasing attention in recent German economic and social policy discussion. Our study contributes to this discussion in two ways: First, on a theoretical level we propose extended multidimensional polarization indices based on a constant elasticity of substitution (CES)-type well-being function and present ...

In dieser Studie werden Zeit, Wohlstand und Zufriedenheit mit einem interdependenten multidimensionalen (IMD) Polarisierungsansatz von Zeit und Einkommen und der Entwicklung über 20 Jahre in Deutschland analysiert. Mit dem neuen Ansatz zur multidimensionalen Polarisierungsintensität (2DGAP) werden die einzelnen interdependenten multidimensionalen Polarisierungskomponenten transparent und für eine zielgerichtete ...
