India may have seen steepest dip in multidimensional poverty among 110 nations as per UNDP data - Nikhil Rampal

The Print

More than a third of India’s poor, or 415 million people, were pushed out of multidimensional poverty between 2005 and 2021, shows analysis of the United Nations Development Program’s (UNDP’s) updated poverty index data.

The data of 110 developing countries, collected over varying time periods, indicates that this fall is likely to be the steepest.

According to the UNDP’s updated Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) report, released Tuesday, about 55 percent of India was living under ‘multidimensional poverty’ by 2005-06. This halved to 27.7 percent by 2015-16, and reduced further to 16.4 percent by 2019-21.

In simpler words, around one in every two Indians were considered poor in 2005-06 owing to deprivation of education, health and standard of living. By 2019-21, this number was down to one among six.
