Abstract
We analyse the effect of COVID-19 on multidimensional poverty in three Italian Regions, namely Trentino Alto Adige, Marche and Sicily by measuring changes in households poverty in 2019 and 2020. Multidimensional poverty is de- fined in terms of deprivation in five dimensions: economic, health, education, neigh- bourhood quality, subjective well-being. The index at regional level is computed ac- cording to the Alkire and Foster methodology. The analysis is based on data from the ‘Aspects of daily life’ survey provided by Istat.
