2019 Multidimensional Poverty Index: Illuminating Inequalities
Findings from the 2019 global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) demonstrate more clearly than ever that labeling countries – or even households – as rich and poor is an oversimplification.
The new data sheds light on disparities in how people experience poverty, revealing vast inequalities among countries and among the poor themselves.
