Abstract:
In recent decades, many empirical issues have been accomplished about poverty respect to various dimensions of this phenomenon in micro level. At the start, monetary aspect of poverty was measured in uni-dimensional form but more researches result that poverty may be as a result of education level, health condition and other household characteristics; so multidimensional poverty indices were defined.The study employs the fuzzy-Set theoretic framework to compare levels of deprivation like income, housing, acquisition of durable goods, health condition, social security and education in Iran over time (2004, 2006) using micro data
