In February 2025 the National Institute of Statistics (INE) of Uruguay launched the national Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) of Uruguay to monitor the country's progress in eradicating poverty in all its forms. The MPI is an official and permanent tool that complements the measurement of monetary poverty in Uruguay. The Uruguay MPI was developed under the leadership of the INE in a strategic technical alliance with UNDP and OPHI. The MPI is calculated using data from the Continuous Household Survey (ECH). The first report is based on the most recent data (2024) from this survey.
