Update to the Multidimensional Poverty Measure : What’s New
Overview & Synopsis
This note presents the 11th edition of the World Bank’s Multidimensional Poverty Measure (MPM) database, drawing on the latest country data from the Global Monitoring Database (GMD) as of April 2026. The MPM offers a broader view of poverty by examining deprivations along three dimensions of well-being: monetary poverty (measured using the international poverty line at $3.00 per person per day in 2021 PPP), education, and access to basic infrastructure services. This latest edition covers 100 economies for circa 2023, and notably includes India and Nigeria, which drastically increases the population coverage of the MPM globally.
