Impact of Poverty Dimensions on Chronic And Transient Poverty in Iran

The topic of poverty has always been studied in the world. If we can break down poverty, we will have a better understanding of the changes in poverty .The purpose of this article is to show the status of poverty and its three dimensions in chronic and transient poverty in Iran using the raw data of the Iranian Statistical Center and drawing the three dimensional curve of poverty (TIP) using the Jenkins and Lambert (1997) method, the poverty status and its dimensions in Iran were studied and then followed by Chakravati et al .chr('39')s (2008) new analysis of the two components of chronic poverty and transient poverty and their extraction from total poverty over an 11-year period in the Iranian economy since. It was done from 2007 to 2017. Finally, the effect of three dimensions of poverty on chronic poverty and transient poverty was calculated based on Shapleychr('39')s method The results obtained from Income Poverty show that at any given time, nearly 60 percent of Iranchr('39')s population is below the poverty line. Poverty intensity is 0.54 and income inequality among the poor is 0.34 .Chronic poverty accounts for 84 percent of total poverty in Iran. Also, the share of poverty incidence and the intensity of poverty and inequality among the poor on chronic poverty are 47%, 35% and 18%, respectively. and the share of the three dimensions of poverty on transient poverty is 65%, 7%, and 28%, respectively. Chronic poverty is strongly affected by poverty incidence and the intensity of poverty and transient poverty is more affected by poverty incidence than other dimensions of poverty.
