Explanation

The Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) was developed in 2010 by Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative and the United Nations Development Programme, and uses different factors to determine poverty beyond income-based lists. It replaced the previous Human Poverty Index. The index uses the same three dimensions as the Human Development Index: Health, education and standard of living. These are measured using ten indicators.

Each dimension and each indicator within a dimension are equally weighted.
