Abstract

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.
