The 2017 global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) provides a headline estimation of poverty and its composition for 103 countries across the world. The 2017 global MPI covers 5.4 billion people, or 76% of the world’s population, living in 103 countries. In 2017, we cover two new countries: Algeria and El Salvador and have updated MPI statistics for 23 countries using new datasets.
