| Summary: | The April 2022 update presents the
3rd edition of the World Bank’s Multidimensional Poverty
Measure (MPM), based on updates to the Global Monitoring
Database (GMD). The MPM is an index that captures the
percentage of households in a country deprived along three
dimensions of well-being – monetary poverty, education, and
basic infrastructure services – to provide a more complete
picture of poverty. The latest MPM data provides country
estimates for 123 economies in the GMD circa 2018, revising
estimates published in March 2021. Some changes reflect the
availability of more recent survey data. Other changes are
due to the addition of new economies to the dataset, the
release of new population data, and new monetary poverty
estimates. The accompanying online dashboard containing the
data and results presented in this document has also been
updated. The dashboard allows users to visualize MPM data
and modify the weights used when aggregating the different
indicators in the MPM headcount ratio. |
