The Diversity of Deprivations
2022
This interactive web portal, hosted by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), explores the multidimensional nature of poverty around the world. According to the 2022 global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), published by UNDP and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, approximately 1.2 billion people live in multidimensional poverty, half under the age of 18. The MPI measures poverty across three dimensions—health, education, and living standards—and uses 10 indicators such as lacking access to clean water, adequate nutrition, or primary education. This web portal allows users to explore each of these 10 indicators through illustrative, media-rich country cases.
