What are the key findings of the Multidimensional Poverty Index 2021?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n
Key findings at the global level<\/strong><\/h6>\n

The report mentions that there are 1.3 billion multidimensionally poor people<\/strong> globally.<\/p>\n

The top five countries<\/strong> with the largest number of people living in multidimensional poverty are India<\/strong> (381 million), Nigeria<\/strong> (93 million), Pakistan<\/strong> (83 million), Ethiopia<\/strong> (77 million) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo<\/strong> (56million).<\/p>\n

Women and Children<\/strong>: Almost two-thirds of global multidimensionally poor people – 836 million- live in households in which no female member has completed at least six years of schooling. These people live mostly in Sub-Saharan Africa (363 million) and South Asia (350 million).<\/p>\n

The report also found that half of global multidimensionally poor<\/strong> people are children<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Women-led houses<\/strong>: One in six multidimensionally poor people across 108 countries live in female-headed households.<\/p>\n

Key findings related to India<\/strong><\/h6>\n

The report mentions that, in India, five out of six multidimensionally poor people are from lower tribes or castes.<\/p>\n

The<\/span>\u00a0Scheduled Tribe group<\/span><\/b>\u00a0accounts for 9.4% of the\u00a0population and is the poorest, with 65 million of the 129 million\u00a0people living in multidimensional poverty.\u00a0They account for about one-sixth of all people living in\u00a0multidimensional poverty in India.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the Scheduled Tribe group is the\u00a0<\/span>Scheduled Caste\u00a0group<\/span><\/b> with 33.3 percent – 94\u00a0million\u00a0of 283 million people\u00a0living in multidimensional povert<\/span>y.<\/span><\/p>\n

The report further said that 27.2 percent of the Other Backward Class group<\/strong>– 160 million of 588 million people — live in multidimensional poverty.<\/p>\n

Overall, five out of six multidimensionally poor<\/strong> people in India live in households whose head is from a Scheduled Tribe, a Scheduled Caste or Other Backward Class<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In India, close to 12 percent<\/strong> of the Multidimensional poor population — 162 million people — live in female-headed households.<\/p>\n
