The Global Multidimensional Poverty Index 2025: Harmonised level estimates and their changes over time

Documentation:
This Database provides estimates of the global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) an international measure of acute poverty. More specifically, it contains harmonised level estimates and their changes over time of the global MPI and related sub-indices, which have been estimated for the 2025 release. For this Database all deprivation indicators have been harmonised over time. The Database covers estimates for 88 countries and 882 subnational regions. 40 of the 88 countries have data for one period spanning two points in time, while poverty trends in 35 countries are based on three points in time. Nine countries (Benin, Bolivia, Eswatini, Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, the Philippines, Senegal, Tanzania and Thailand) have results spanning four points in time. One country (Ghana) provides trends across five time periods, while Mexico, Peru and Nepal have the longest coverage, with trends for six time periods. The estimates are based on 244 individual survey datasets, mostly the Demographic Health Survey (DHS) and the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS). The Database is organised in two results files, one for level estimates and one for change estimates. Both results files are each provided in Stata format (dta) and comma separated values (csv). This repository also contains the computer script files to extract and clean the micro data for replication purposes (i.e. the Stata do-files).
