Dataset
The Global Multidimensional Poverty Index 2022: 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 2022 release. For this Database all deprivation indicators have been harmonised over time.
The Database covers estimates for 84 countries and 810 subnational regions. 35 of the 84 countries have trends for three points in time; while poverty trends in 48 countries are based on two points in time. Gambia is the only country where we have presented results for four points in time. The estimates are based on 205 individual survey datasets, mostly the Demographic Health Survey (DHS) and the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS). The Database contains one results file that has the level estimates and change estimates. The results file are provided in Stata format (dta). This repository also contains the computer script files to extract and clean the micro data for replication purposes (i.e. the Stata do-files).

This repository contains the database "The Global Multidimensional Poverty Index 2022: Harmonised Level Estimates and their Changes over Time" version 2.0 released in October 2022. Moreover, the repository also provides the computer scripts to clean the underlying micro data and construct the relevant deprivation indicators for replication purposes.
