Social Indicators Research, pp.1-25.https://doi.org/10.1007/s11205-023-03062-4http://hdl.handle.net/10566/8761The persistently high level of poverty remains one of the main socio-economic issues in South Africa since the democratic transition in 1994. Many South Africa studies focused on using money-metric measures to examine poverty levels and rates, but in recent years there has been an emergence of studies that examined multidimensional non-money metric poverty. Nonetheless, some poverty indicators are still ignored. Thus, this study re-examined the extent of multidimensional poverty in South Africa with the derivation of a Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) by considering the various overlooked indicators.enmultidimensional povertyMPInon-income welfareSouth Africarural areasArticle
