UNDP Releases 2021 Global Multidimensional Poverty Index Report

The global MPI is jointly produced by UNDP and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI). The index complements monetary-based measures of poverty, expressing deprivations that are manifested in people’s daily lives in ways that go beyond the ability to purchase goods and services.

The report provides estimates on multidimensional poverty for 109 developing countries (with data from surveys ranging 2009-2019/2020); these include 26 low-income countries, 80 middle-income countries, and 3 high-income countries. The index measures each person’s deprivations across 10 indicators divided into three equally weighted dimensions.
