Multi-Dimensional Poverty Index (MPI)

The Multi-Dimensional Poverty Index (MPI) is a tool used to measure poverty beyond income, considering various aspects that affect well-being. It looks at factors such as education, health, and living standards to provide a more comprehensive picture of what it means to be poor. By combining these dimensions, MPI identifies how many people are deprived in multiple areas, helping policymakers target efforts more effectively to improve overall quality of life and reduce multidimensional poverty.
