What is the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI)?

The Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) is a measure of poverty that takes into account multiple dimensions of deprivation, including health, education, and standard of living. It provides a more comprehensive understanding of poverty by considering various factors that contribute to a person's well-being. The MPI identifies individuals or households who are deprived in multiple dimensions and calculates the percentage of the population living in multidimensional poverty.
