ABSTRACT
This study aims to analyze the effects of multidimensional well-being growth on poverty and inequality in Brazil over the periods of 2004-2008 and 2016-2019. Empirically, the methodologies of Kakwani and Pernia (2000KAKWANI, Nanak e PERNIA, Ernesto M (2000), What is Pro-poor Growth?. Asian Development Review, v. 18, n. 1, p. 1-16.), Kakwani, Khandker, and Son (2004KAKWANI, Nanak; KHANDKER, Shahid e SON, Hyun H (2004), Pro-poor growth: concepts and measurement with country case studies. International Poverty Centre: Working Paper, n.1, p. 1-24.), and Shapley’s decomposition are used. The results have demonstrated that a decrease in multidimensional poverty happened between 2004 and 2008, and an increase happened between 2016 and -2019. The growth in multidimensional well-being in the second period has been anti-poor. With the decomposition, it was found that while multidimensional well-being growth contributed to poverty reduction between 2004 and2008, between 2016 and 2019 the concentration contributed to an increase in poverty.
