The objective of the study was to measure poverty in a multi-dimensional poverty approach to measure multi-dimensional poverty indicators in Vietnam and the economic regions of Vietnam. Thereby, it attempts to analyze and assess the multi-dimensional poverty in Vietnam and the economic regions in 2014. The study also analyzes the factors that affect the ability of a household that falls into multi-dimensional poverty in Viet Nam. The authors used cross-sectional data from the Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey (VHLSS) in 2014 results of the General Statistics Office to calculate and assess the multi-dimensional poverty status. In addition, the binary logistic model is used to determine the relationship and quantify the influence of demographic factors and socio-economic factors on the probability of one household of multi-dimensional poverty. From the research results, recommendations and policy implications are introduced to reduce multi-dimensional poverty and the depreciation of each poverty dimension in Vietnam and the economic regions.
