How does Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) measure poverty? | A Level Geography (2024) Andre Lim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLX83PaC_cU Transkript (automatisch erstellt) 0:00 [Music] move on to the next part of human geography team 2.1 i'm going to look 0:12 looking your necks on development indicator kit is gonna be your multi-dimensional poverty index key in shot MPI all right so your MPI is very 0:21 similar here somewhat similar to your HDI it does look at several similar factors as well okay so we're gonna dive into exactly what are the different 0:30 dimensions the MPI will look at and what exactly it means right so the definition of MPI is very very simple 0:37 it basically means a kme or at least K identifies what are the different operations of people in terms of health in terms of education and in terms of 0:48 standard of living okay so it looks at different factors K such as nutrition child mortality years of schooling living standards and more 0:56 he will look at exactly what the index what proportion of what are the different factors supposed to be of this index later on k by essentially this is 1:05 what a reversal on so it reflects the incidence of M multi-dimensional poverty and it's it tends intensity in a country K what I mean by this it basically 1:16 states okay what me or at least to what extent K based on this poverty level he will determine how intense your poverty is within that country itself 1:28 okay so that's basically what it measures it measures the incidence key when there is a high level of poverty and if so see how intense okay is the 1:41 poverty in that country is supposed to be like K so looks at the percentage of people who live in multi-dimensional poverty K so usually MPI tends to look 1:52 towards the percentage instead of having something solid here so number K and you look at usually when you look at MPI you look at the in terms of in terms of 2:06 comparing key reading country schema it's the different MPI levels within different countries as well as well the diff 2:14 fans in how poverty levels are like when you compare amongst different countries all right so if we move on after these kiddies BC what your multi-dimensional 2:23 poverty index tier looks like so essentially what it does case it combines different factors and each factor of health education as well as 2:33 living standards each take up one to each case is one-third one-third one-third you add up you get these dimensions of poverty so we didn't 2:41 health itself case splits itself into a nutrition as well as child mortality on the other hand for education ki are looking at the years of schooling as 2:50 well as why is the school attendance kennefa living centers you looking at do they have cooking fuel ki are able to sanitize themselves kiddo there's a 2:58 proper access to sanitation what is the presence of drinking water there k do they have clean water to drink k do they have electricity to go 3:06 about doing a daily necessities ki do they have good housing and why the SS they have ki in terms of monetary assets here or any other form of assets that 3:16 they hold okay so this is what MPI looks like it combines the different aspects of health education living standards to form this MPI alright so while some the 3:26 benefits of MPI so remember similar to the HDI ki were looking at your evaluation for this two indicators always everything always 3:33 boils down to your evaluation so benefits k firstly it captures this thing and broader aspects of poverty so MPI is targeted towards poverty only 3:43 case you're not looking at white skill development across the country you're looking specifically at poverty which is why it's multi-dimensional poverty index 3:51 so we look at MPI ki are looking at a lot of all these aspects of poverty things like extend of living the health the education all this will determine 3:59 whether people are actually still gonna be stuck in poverty or whether they gonna be able to get out of it or or what um other level ski of their living 4:08 standards which determines the fact that they're in poverty so it wasn't just the cause of deprivation directly so the causes K that's also indicate right so 4:17 things like health which is lacking or that living standard certain living standards like in K these are what will be 4:25 the what MPI captures K captures all these causes soil health and education outcomes kids or reviews create variations in poverty levels within 4:34 countries so within countries itself K that could be varying levels of poverty okay so for instance certain city or certain area of a country within Africa 4:45 of example and I will be K could have a higher MPI as compared to another country another city within within Africa itself so we're looking at within 4:55 countries K you can actually tell what the different levels of poverty are K and you can from there assess okay which areas are lacking in terms of their 5:05 health education and any sort of living standards history is good for comparison as well okay MPI is a good way to compare K so there are some limitations 5:18 that it has K so some limitations the MPI has will be that there's too many facets of poverty that the index actually does not cover K for instance 5:28 you have got conflicts personal security domestic violence okay these are certain things which makes to occur within your areas of 5:38 poverty kids especially things like domestic violence but where we don't actually measure K we measure a lot of very tangible things like health your 5:46 education your standard of living K those are the things that we were actually looking at instead over here so we don't exactly touch based on 5:53 everything he not only that he some locations who do not have a quarter MPI so certain areas which are more closed off KB can exactly measure or that they 6:02 they simply just do not access those areas to measure MPI K as a result these areas do not have MPI values which means that it may not exactly be entirely 6:14 comparable amongst every city state or in every country k because not everyone will have this MPI index here for instance if you look at some more 6:23 developed nations as well he let me know also have record MPI reason being is because poverty is so low so it's very hard to measure to 6:30 begin with all right so what some of the exam requirements for this part so raising be able to explain define what MPI 6:38 is so what are the certain indicators of MPI what are the different aspects that equals Shu so mainly your education your health as well as living standards and 6:48 then not only that ok people to explain what um so you Michigan okay I be able to explain the pros and cons okay of using this s and index scale and use MPI 7:01 as an indicator okay to measure development kay will actually be successful he may be a constable not really Kay because you know it not 7:10 poverty doesn't exist in and I mean it does exist keep eyes on a very very small skill in a lot of developed nations so perhaps MPI can only be used 7:18 to combat poverty levels within a less developed nation itself or did amongst development are less developed nations k by a may not be able to use MPI to 7:26 measure cost everywhere kay so explain why the posts and cons of using MPI to measure development levels across the world could be alright so if that 7:34 actually offered this part on MPI it's very very similar to HDI ki but usually I realized it's more on a global scale okay MPI is very very specific you're 7:42 looking at poverty HDI you could have a poverty you can also cover other areas of development higher levels of development so Human Development Index 7:50 covers a lot more on base towards societal living standards as well as what your GDP okay gni for the country is which shows your economic growth so 8:01 it's a very macro scale is compared to MPI which focus on a very very small skill looking specifically at poverty in this case okay so I thought that's all 8:09 for this video if you did enjoy be sure to leave a like a supposed to subscribe to the channel readers helped me a lot that is actually all we have so for your 8:17 indicators K we still have your MDGs and SDGs which I'll be going through the next part so stay tuned for that if not if any questions leave in the comment 8:26 section below and I will answer them as well right so if not I'll see you guys in it
