- Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI)
- An index that measures poverty in multiple dimensions beyond monetary aspects.
- Measures severe deprivations, the UNDP says. Facing several deprivations at the same time.
- Deprivations: overlapping deprivations (incidence) or number of deprivations people facing on average (intensity)
- MPI: measures three deprivations – health + education + living standards – at the household level – poverty measured on these indicators together – income not included – non-monetary poverty
- 10 indicators across health + education + living standards
- MPI values: 0 to 1 – higher value means higher poverty
- Launched: by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) at the University of Oxford and the Human Development Report Office of the United Nations Development Programme in 2010
- What is measured: deprivation profile of each household and persons with the household
- The World Bank: Three dimensions – monetary poverty + basic infrastructure services + education
