capability approach

During the virtual conference of the International Society for Quality of Life Studies (ISQOLS) we have a symposium on multidimensional poverty. I also present further papers in other sessions.

In this webinar of the Human Development and Capability Association (HDCA), I present my Walls of glass paper on how to measure deprivation in social participation, an important but so far neglected dimension of human well-being. Operationalisation and empirical implementation of the measure are conceptually guided by the capability approach.

During the virtual FROGEE workshop Dimensions of human well-being, I present my paper on how to measure deprivation in social participation.

This paper proposes a measure for deprivation in social participation drawing on philosophical considerations, axiomatic research on poverty and deprivation, and previous empirical research on social exclusion and subjective well-being. The measure is illustrated using German data.

In this webinar I present a current paper proposing a measure for deprivation in social participation, an important but so far neglected dimension of human well-being. Operationalisation and empirical implementation of the measure are conceptually guided by the capability approach.

In this paper I offer a proposal how to conceptualize work within the capability approach. The paper also discusses policy handles, offers suggestions for particular applications, and identifies several other benefits for labour economics.

In this article I discuss selected aspects related to my paper on multidimensional poverty in Germany.

This paper proposes a multidimensional poverty index for Germany. Conceptually the proposed measure is integrated into the capability approach, technically it relies on the Alkire-Foster method. The measure is illustrated using German SOEP data.

This paper exmanies whether individuals suffer from capability deprivation in terms of life satisfaction. Since data on functionings often are lacking, this paper explores the conditions and assumptions under which capability deprivation can be inferred from readily available consumption data.
