Capability Failure and Group Disparities : Some Evidence from India for the 1980s
提出一种名为能力失败比率的剥夺度量方法，涵盖寿命、知识和收入三个维度，并推导其不平等调整版本，利用印度各邦数据进行分析，旨在将分布问题纳入人类困境的度量。
This paper advances a particular measure of deprivation - called the Capability Failure Ratio (CFR) - on the dimensions of longevity, knowledge and income, and suggests how an (inequality-) 'adjusted' version of the CFR may be derived. These measurement concerns are explored in the context of relevant State-wise data for the Indian Union. The paper thus makes an attempt to enrich the analysis of human predicament by sensitising 'measures of central tendency' to distributional concerns.
