Multidimensional Poverty Index (2011) ~ Updates

There are a number of possible reasons a country’s MPI changed between 2010 and 2011. OPHI has prepared a one page document giving an overview of 2011 updates.

***NEW!***OPHI Research in Progress 32a Sub-national Disparities and Inter-temporal Evolution of Multidimensional Poverty across Developing Countries. By Sabina Alkire, José Manuel Roche and Suman Seth. This paper focuses on the new analyses of sub-national decompositions and changes over time for 1.4 billion of the 1.65 billion MPI poor people identified by the MPI in 2011. It analyses the incidence, intensity and composition of multidimensional poverty at sub-national levels for 66 developing countries, and presents poverty estimates for 683 sub-national regions.
