The correct answer is 33.3. Explanation & Key Takeaways: • The Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), developed by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), is an international measure of acute poverty covering over 100 developing countries. • It complements traditional income-based poverty measures by capturing the severe deprivations that each person faces at the same time with respect to education, health, and living standards. • The MPI assesses poverty at the individual level, with poor being defined as someone who is deprived in at least one-third of ten (weighted) indicators. Therefore, if the deprivation score of a household is 33.33 percent or more, it is considered multidimensionally poor. • The ten indicators are divided into three dimensions: education, health, and living standards. • Each dimension is equally weighted, and each indicator within a dimension also carries equal weight. The index reflects both the incidence of poverty (the headcount ratio) and the intensity of poverty (the average deprivation score among the poor).
