Share of population living in multidimensional poverty.
A choropleth world map showing country-level shares of people deprived across health, education, and living-standards indicators. Caption below the title: "Multidimensional poverty is defined as being deprived in a range of health, education and living standards indicators." Key pattern: high shares are concentrated across much of sub-Saharan Africa, with many countries above 50% and some above 80%; parts of South Asia and a few Pacific countries also show substantial shares, while many higher-income countries are hatched for no data or show low shares. Data source: Alkire et al. (2025) - The Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) 2025. Note: Estimates based on the most recent household survey data (between 2013 and 2023). A separate dataset is produced to monitor trends over time. CC BY.
📊 Data update: Track measures of poverty beyond income: health, education, and living standards—
The experience of poverty goes far beyond having no or low income.

Until 1963, Companhia de Diamantes de Angola relied on forced labour in its diamond mines, making it arguably the last major employer in colonial Africa to uphold such practices. My IHR blog examines the economic forces that sustained this system and what finally brought about its end. #Angola
