Abstract
Abstract: This study examines multidimensional poverty in Jammu and Kashmir, aiming to uncover its nature and extent. It suggests that multidimensional poverty surpasses monetary poverty in the region. The study uses Alkire Foster method taking data from NFHS-5. The findings reveal the coexistence of income poverty and multidimensional poverty, with the latter being more prevalent. Within surveyed districts, numerous households experience multidimensional poverty, with Ramban district having the highest incidence and Srinagar district the lowest headcount. Anantnag district exhibits the most intense multidimensional poverty. The research identifies factors influencing multidimensional poverty through binary logistic regression, highlighting the roles of education, occupation, and land ownership. Conflict amplifies multidimensional poverty, while a predictive model achieves around 82.80% accuracy. The study underscores local factors^ significance in shaping poverty experiences, with indicators such as nutrition, sanitation, housing, and education playing crucial roles. Gender, age, and conflict also emerge as important determinants.
