Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI)

Human Development Index (HDI): countries where the HDI is below 0.6. Pixels with a value lower than the specified threshold (0.6) were given a value of 1 (YES response) The Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable and a decent standard of living. The HDI is the geometric mean of normalized indices for each of the three dimensions. The health dimension is assessed by life expectancy at birth, the education dimension is measured by the mean of years of schooling for adults aged 25 years and more and expected years of schooling for children of school entering age. The standard of living dimension is measured by gross national income per capita. The HDI uses the logarithm of income, to reflect the diminishing importance of income with increasing Gross National Income (GNI). The scores for the three HDI dimension indices are then aggregated into a composite index using geometric mean. The HDI simplifies and captures only part of what human development entails. It does not reflect inequalities, poverty, human security, empowerment, etc. .

The multidimensional poverty headcount ratio (UNDP & OPHI) is the percentage of a population living in poverty according to the multidimensional poverty index of the UNDP and OPHI. The index includes three dimensions -- health, education, and living standards.

Gender inequalities: countries where gender inequalities are likely to be exacerbated by climate change. Pixels with a value higher than the specified threshold (0.4) were given a value of 1 (YES response) The Gender Inequality Index (GII) measures gender inequalities in three important aspects of human development—reproductive health, measured by maternal mortality ratio and adolescent birth rates; empowerment, measured by proportion of parliamentary seats occupied by females and proportion of adult females and males aged 25 years and older with at least some secondary education; and economic status, expressed as labour market participation and measured by labour force participation rate of female and male populations aged 15 years and older. The GII is built on the same framework as the Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI) — to better expose differences in the distribution of achievements between women and men. It measures the human development costs of gender inequality. Thus, the higher the GII value the more disparities between females and males and the more loss to human development. **Data revision:** 2020-01-01 **Contact points:** Contact: [Admir Jahic](mailto:admir.jahic@undp.org) UNDP Metadata contact: [OCB Environment](mailto:OCB-Environment-List@fao.org) FAO-UN **Resource constraints:** license **Online resources:** Download data from Human Development Report (UNDP)

Abstract: The Global Gridded Relative Deprivation Index (GRDI), Version 1 (GRDIv1) data set characterizes the relative levels of multidimensional deprivation and poverty in each 30 arc-second (~1 km) pixel, where a value of 100 represents the highest level of deprivation and a value of 0 the lowest. GRDIv1 is built from sociodemographic and satellite data inputs that were spatially harmonized, indexed, and weighted into six main components to produce the final index raster. Inputs were selected from the best-available data that either continuously vary across space or have at least administrative level 1 (provincial/state) resolution, and which have global spatial coverage. Purpose: To provide a global gridded relative deprivation index characterizing the levels of multidimensional deprivation in each pixel at ~1 km resolution.

Food insecurity: countries where the food insecurity prevalence is above 30%. Pixels with a value higher than the specified threshold (30%) were given a value of 1 (YES response) The percentage of people in the population who live in households classified as moderately or severely food insecure. A household is classified as moderately or severely food insecure when at least one adult in the household has reported to have been exposed, at times during the year, to low quality diets and might have been forced to also reduce the quantity of food they would normally eat because of a lack of money or other resources. **Data revision:** 2021-01-01 **Contact points:** Contact: [](mailto:data@worldbank.org) World Bank Metadata contact: [OCB Environment](mailto:OCB-Environment-List@fao.org) FAO-UN **Resource constraints:** More information on the data license at: https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/summary/ **Online resources:** World Bank data on Prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity in the population (%)
