Q32.
The Multi-dimensional Poverty Index developed by 'Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative with UNDP support covers which of the following? 1. Deprivation of education, health, assets and services at household level. 2. Purchasing power parity at national level. 3. Extent of budget deficit and GDP growth rate at national level. Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Answer
A
Explanation
The Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) developed by OPHI with UNDP support measures poverty at the household level across multiple dimensions including education (years of schooling, school attendance), health (child mortality, nutrition), and living standards (cooking fuel, sanitation, water, electricity, floor, assets). It does NOT cover purchasing power parity or GDP growth rates — those are macroeconomic indicators, not part of MPI.
