Poverty in Education – MPI 2019

Worldmapper — Sun, 27 Oct 2019 08:55:27 +0000

The 2019 Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) "looks beyond income to understand how people experience poverty in multiple and simultaneous ways. It identifies how people are being left behind across three key dimensions: health, education and standard of living, comprising 10 indicators. People who experience deprivation in at least one third of these weighted indicators fall into the category of multidimensionally poor." (UNDP/OPHI, 2019) The report compiles data from 101 countries with a total population of 5.7 billion, or 76% of the world total. According to the report, 1.3 billion people in these countries lived in multidimensional poverty. The contribution of deprivation in education to overall multidimensional poverty takes two indicators into account as a measure for deprived households: (1) Years of schooling: No household member aged 10 years or older has completed six years of schooling. (2) School attendance: Any school-aged child is not attending school up to the age at which he/she would complete class 8.

Who is looking at us? This map is a cartogram where the original shapes of each territory mapped is proportional to the total number of visitors to our website worldmapper.org in the first six months after its relaunch in April 2018. The total number of visitors counted in that time was at 190,970, while another 62,289 visitors looked at the Worldmapper archive that we did not include in these statistics. For privacy reasons some users choose not to be captured by webcounters. These users are therefore also not included in this map.

Data sources
This map uses data from the 2016 United Nations Human Development Report and population estimates from the 2017 World Population Prospects (last accessed March 2018). We aim to map as complete data as possible and therefore estimate data for missing values. In some cases, missing data for very small territories is not used in the cartogram and that area is therefore omitted in the map.

Further notes on the data, as well as all modifications to the original data source are noted in our data sheets. Data for this map will soon be available as a download.
