UNECE working paper: Assessing the relationship between gender and environment in an individual-level measure of multidimensional poverty: rationale, possibilities, and insights from Tonga

The Working Paper introduces the Equality Insights Rapid survey implemented in Tonga in 2022, some four months after the eruption of the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai volcano and associated tsunami. The approach to assessing environment as a dimension of multidimensional deprivation via a phone survey is outlined and initial results presented, illustrating the types of environmental insights that can be generated. Reflections are offered regarding the analysis that is possible given the scope of the data set and its contribution to the gender and environment data landscape.
