Abstract
The purpose of this study is to assess the dynamics of multidimensional poverty and inequality among middle-aged and older adults. The findings demonstrate that most people may experience multidimensional poverty in old age. Social participation plays a crucial role in contributing to overall poverty. The most prominent factor of inequality among those in poverty is sex, and the greatest disparity in the multidimensional poverty across subgroups is education. This study offers empirical evidence on the old age poverty profile from a multidimensional perspective and helps to target disadvantaged groups and regions.
