Poverty is not just about money. Oxford University in Britain says ……………………. also means not having enough food, education, healthcare and shelter.
Earlier this month, Oxford University released its latest measure of poverty. It is called the Multidimensional Poverty Index, or MPI. Researchers gathered information from ………………countries, where ………………………… of the world’s population lives. Oxford says about ……………………………… of those people are what it calls “multi-dimensionally poor.” It says most live in rural areas.
Sabina Alkire is the head of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative. She describes multidimensional poverty.
“I mean a person who has different things going wrong at the same time. They might not have many assets and they might have ………………... And they might not have more than five years of schooling. So, several things are going wrong in their life at the same time. That’s what it means to be multi-dimensionally poor. It’s not just one.”
The MPI found that in nearly ………………..developing countries, ………………………………..of the poor people should be called “destitute” -- in other words, having an extreme lack of basic living standards.
About ………………………………. people are considered destitute. Most of them live in South Asia. About …………………………… live in India. The MPI found there are ………………………….. destitute people in …………………….. African countries. Niger has the highest percentage of its population listed as destitute -- almost …………………………..
An individual’s earnings is the most common measure of poverty. But Dr. Alkire says more information is needed to tell the whole story.
“It needs a measure that looks at the other aspects of people’s life -- like bad ………………………, bad education, no water and sanitation, or poor ………………………….. -- and sees how they’re doing in those. Because actually it’s not the same people who are poor in both. And so both measures together give a more-balanced picture of how people are living.”
She says that in some places, many people have a poor ……………………, but are not considered poor.
“For example, in Bhutan, according to their national poverty measure, …………………………. of people are income poor and ……………………. are multi-dimensionally poor, but only a quarter of those -- …………………… -- are poor in both.”
But she believes that policies aimed at reducing poverty are working.
“We studied changes over time for …………… countries this year, housing …………………. people. And ………………………. of those countries had significant reductions of poverty. And the really good news we find is that it’s low-income countries and least-developed countries that actually reduced poverty the fastest.”
