Abstract

This paper analyses the situation of the homeless in Spain before and during the Great Recession, using a multidimensional approach based on the construction of a new indicator of their deprivations, inspired by a counting approach mainly developed for poverty analysis. This indicator considers dimensions related to health and social contacts, in addition to purely economic ones. Using data from 2005 and 2012, the static analysis is complemented with a study of the changes experienced by the homeless before and during the Great Recession and how some sociodemographic aspects are related to their probability of being a worse situation of multidimensional deprivation. Results show that the levels of deprivation in the homeless population declined after the Great Recession.

Education is usually a dimension considered by many authors in this type of research. However, for our study we have decided not to include it as part of our indicator to avoid multicollinearity problems in our probit model.

This refers to economic assistance (in form of a cash benefit) provided by the state intended to cover the basic needs of those who do not have sufficient economic resources and are at risk of social exclusion.

Being able to access the internet or check a personal email, from a compute or a smartphone.

The results of a robustness analysis using other indicators and alternatives weights are available for the interested reader upon request.

This dual cutoff method was first considered and developed by Alkire and Foster (2011).

The use of weights based on the marginal distribution of the simple indicators of each deprivation variable means that this sharp decline between periods in the percentage of individuals with access to services does not detract our main deprivation rates.
