(MPM).
The Multidimensional Poverty Measure is designed to factor in the complexity and persistence of poverty, in addition to the monetary threshold of $1.90.
It takes account of deprivation in education and access to basic infrastructure, in addition to the $1.90 threshold.
The indicators factored in are:
- Consumption or income
- Educational attainment
- Educational enrolment
- Drinking water
- Sanitation
- Electricity
This greatly increases the number of people viewed as poor.
