Empirical illustration with EU-SILC data (20+ countries):
➡️ deprivations tend to couple (MD poor are less likely to exit existing deprivation + more likely to enter new deprivation
➡️patterns often stable over time
➡️interesting cross-country variation
3/3
Framework permits
✅permits analysis of dynamics among individual deprivations of MPI
✅respects nature of MPI measurement
✅offers novel insights on coupling of deprivations
✅even feasible with short run panel data

We also touch upon related paper, where we combine projections and simulation-techniques to analyze covid & related policy responses. Permits us to account for time lapsed since last data collection. Common issue many countries.

Empirical analysis features 70+ countries.
We also discuss implications for other non-monetary indicators: accurate projections require proper account of upper and lower bounds of outcome variables. Sometimes overlooked.

In a new research @oxfordcsae.bsky.social podcast, we talk with @ophioxford.bsky.social colleagues about a recently proposed projection framework for #MultidimensionalPoverty indices. How to measure progress towards development goals? Are targets feasible?

Recently, our paper documenting data for the global multidimensional #poverty index went online!
Estimates draw on 211 survey datasets (84 countries, 814 regions, up to 4 points of time). @ophioxford.bsky.social @ubeconomics.bsky.social @ourworldindata.org #econsky

Great opportunity to help shape the organization's operational & analytical work around poverty reduction.
A world map illustrates the share of the population living in multidimensional poverty, defined as deprivation in health, education, and living standards. The map employs varying shades of purple and pink to indicate the percentage of the population affected by multidimensional poverty in different countries. Countries are marked with a gradient from light pink (representing 0% of the population living in multidimensional poverty) to dark purple (representing 100%). For some countries, specific percentages are highlighted, such as 91% in Niger, 84% in Chad, and 80% in the Central African Republic. Areas with no data are shown in diagonal stripes. The footer notes the data comes from Alkire, Kanagaratnam, and Suppa (2024) as part of the Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) 2024. It mentions that the estimates are based on recent household survey data from 2011 to 2023, but for 62% of countries, the data refers to the period after 2018. The chart is published by Our World in Data
In many countries, more than half of the population faces poverty in multiple dimensions
