While both the HDI and the MPI use the three broad dimensions health, education and standard of living, the HDI uses indicators at the aggregate level while the MPI uses microdata and all indicators must come from the same survey. This, among other reasons, has led to the MPI only being calculated for just over 100 countries, where data is ...
The Mazziotta–Pareto index (MPI) is a composite index [1] (OECD, 2008 [2]) for summarizing a set of individual indicators that are assumed to be not fully substitutable.

Long-term unemployment (12 months or more, % of labour force), 2005. Varies from 0.4% for the United States to 5.0% for Germany. This indicator has by far the greatest variation, with a value as high as 9.3% at HDI position 37. Population below 50% of median adjusted household disposable income (%), 1994–2002. Varies from 5.4% for Finland to ...
It is more scientific and practical to measure poverty as it reflects both incidence rate and the degree to which a population is deprived. The 2014 global MPI data shows that the number of Kenyans being MPI poor is 39.9%, [2] indicated by the headcount ratio. This implies that poverty still is a severe issue in Kenya.
The included indicators are selected because they are measured appropriately, with a consistent methodology, by the same organization across all (or essentially all) of the countries in the sample. Together, this framework aims to capture a broad range of interrelated factors revealed by the scholarly literature and practitioner experience as ...
