Q100.
Consider the following statements about Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) : 1. MPI is calculated using Alkire-Foster methodology. 2. MPI calculated by NITI Aayog has a total of twelve indicators. 3. Maternal Health and Bank Account are common indicators in the MPI of NITI Aayog and MPI of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?
Answer
A
Explanation
Both NITI Aayog's National MPI and UNDP's MPI use the Alkire–Foster methodology. NITI Aayog's national MPI uses 12 indicators, adding Maternal Health and Bank Account to the 10 indicators of the global MPI. Those two are therefore not common indicators between the two indices. Hence 1 and 2 → A.
