Specifically, I use differences in deprivation transition probabilities between multidimensionally poor and non-poor people, to analyse how deprivations couple over time. Advantages of this approach include that it (i) summarises relevant mechanisms, (ii) requires only short-run panel data and (iii) is suitable for monitoring purposes. Using the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) for 20+ countries over 2016–2020, I find that deprivations tend to couple over time. Implications include that coordinated policy programmes seem critical to overcome entrenched and prevent future deprivations.44 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd, (c) Suppa, 2025http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/PobresaEscala multidimensionalAnàlisi de dades de panelPovertyMultidimensional scalingPanel analysisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
