The global MPI scrutinizes a person’s deprivations across 10 indicators in health, education and standard of living and offers a high-resolution lens to identify both who is poor and how they are poor. It complements the international $1.90 a day poverty rate by showing the nature and extent of overlapping deprivations for each person. The 2019 update
of the global MPI covers 101 countries— 31 low income, 68 middle income and 2 high income—and uses data from 50 Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), 42 Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), one DHSMICS and eight national surveys that provide comparable information to DHS and MICS.
