Abstract

This note presents the 6th edition of the World Bank’s Multidimensional Poverty Measure (MPM) database, based on country data from the Global Monitoring Database (GMD) as of November 2023. The MPM captures the percentage of households in a country that are deprived in three dimensions of well-being: monetary poverty, education, and basic infrastructure services. Monetary poverty is measured using the International Poverty Line at $2.15 per person per day in 2017 PPP. The latest data provides estimates for 121 economies in the GMD circa 2018, revising estimates published in April 2023. The global and regional MPM headcount remains unchanged from the previous edition, however the share of population experiencing deprivations by dimension has changed slightly, reflecting updates to underlying survey data in some countries.
