摘要
This paper investigates the multidimensional status of poverty in China using a gender framework. Five dimensions of deprivation were selected-health, nutrition, housing, education and income-in order to measure the severity of Chinese women's poverty. Chinese Family Panel Studies (CFPS) were a source of rich information on individuals' material wellbeing for this analysis. There are three main findings in this study: women are significantly more vulnerable to suffer from severe deprivation than men in China, especially with respect to the primary education, body mass index (BMI) and health conditions; in terms of multidimensional poverty status, women have a worse performance than men on average, with huge differences between rural and urban regions and among different provinces; many personal and household characteristics significantly shape women's poverty experiences, as seen via the fixed effect logistic regression model.
