Abstract: This note presents the 7th edition of the World Bank’s Multidimensional Poverty Measure (MPM) database, based on country data from the Global Monitoring Database (GMD) as of April 2024. The MPM captures the percentage of households in a country that are deprived along three dimensions of well-being: monetary poverty (measured using the international poverty line at $2.15 per person per day in 2017 PPP), education, and basic infrastructure services. The latest MPM database provides estimates for 127 economies in the GMD for circa 2018, including six new countries. The latest global MPM headcount is 14.4 percent, the same as the previous edition. However, the regional breakdown of deprivations by dimension has changed slightly, reflecting more recent survey data in some countries.
