Half of multidimensionally poor people (644 million) are children under age 18. One in three children is poor compared with one in six adults.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 About 84 % of multidimensionally poor people live in Sub-Saharan Africa (558 million) and South Asia (530 million).<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Four countries halved their MPI value. India (2005\/06\u20132015\/16) did so nationally and among children and had the biggest reduction in the number of multidimensionally poor people (over 270 million).<\/p>\n<p><b>About the global MPI?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/media\/2020\/7\/19\/9\/36\/11\/Global_MPI.jpg\" alt=\"The 2020 global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) was recently ...\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The global MPI is a measure of acute multidimensional poverty. It measures the acute deprivations in health, education, and living standards that a person may face simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The global MPI is composed of three dimensions (health, education, and living standards) and ten indicators. A person is identified as multidimensionally poor if they are deprived in at least one third of the weighted indicators.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 2020 marks the ten year anniversary since the global MPI was first launched in partnership with the UNDP\u2019s Human Development Report Office (HDRO).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>For more such notes, Articles, News &amp; Views Join our Telegram Channel.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Telegram Link\" href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/triumphias\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>https:\/\/t.me\/triumphias<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Click the link below to see the details about the UPSC \u2013Civils courses offered by Triumph IAS.<\/strong> <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" title=\"Courses available\" href=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/pages-all-courses.php\">https:\/\/triumphias.com\/pages-all-courses.php<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Relevance: Prelims: International Why in news? \u2022 The 2020 global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) was recently released by the Oxford<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7214,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[123],"tags":[392],"class_list":["post-9076","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-current-affairs","tag-union-public-service-commission-upsc"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9076"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9076\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9079,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9076\/revisions\/9079"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
