As of 2022, over ********** children between the ages of 10 to 14 years were affected by poverty. In general, age groups from 0 to 19 years were most impacted by extreme poverty.

In financial year 2023, Uttar Pradesh, India's most populated state had over ** percent people living under the poverty line of **** U.S. dollars per day. A decade ago the state had over ** percent of its population living under the threshold. The state of Bihar also witnessed a significant reduction in poverty rates from over ** percent in the financial year 2012 to over ** percent in the financial year 2023.

As per World Bank's thresholds, in 2022, over 23.9 percent of India's population was living on less than 3 U.S. dollars per day. When the 4.20 U.S. dollars per day threshold is considered, the share increased to over 5.3 percent. The poverty line of 4.20 per day is set by the World Bank to be representative of the definitions of poverty adopted in lower-middle-income countries.

India Poverty Headcount Ratio at Societal Poverty Lines: % of Population data was reported at 33.100 % in 2021. This records a decrease from the previous number of 34.800 % for 2020. India Poverty Headcount Ratio at Societal Poverty Lines: % of Population data is updated yearly, averaging 38.450 % from Dec 1977 (Median) to 2021, with 14 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 63.500 % in 1977 and a record low of 32.400 % in 2018. India Poverty Headcount Ratio at Societal Poverty Lines: % of Population data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s India – Table IN.World Bank.WDI: Social: Poverty and Inequality. The poverty headcount ratio at societal poverty line is the percentage of a population living in poverty according to the World Bank's Societal Poverty Line. The Societal Poverty Line is expressed in purchasing power adjusted 2017 U.S. dollars and defined as max($2.15, $1.15 + 0.5*Median). This means that when the national median is sufficiently low, the Societal Poverty line is equivalent to the extreme poverty line, $2.15. For countries with a sufficiently high national median, the Societal Poverty Line grows as countries’ median income grows.;World Bank, Poverty and Inequality Platform.

Lakdawala Methodology: An older method to measure poverty in India based on minimum calorie intake (2,400 rural / 2,100 urban). It used a 30-day recall for all expenses but did not include health and education costs.

Tendulkar Methodology:A revised method that considers actual spending on food, health, education, etc. It uses a mixed recall period and provides a more realistic estimate of poverty.

Mixed Recall Period: Combines two recall periods: 30 days for regular items and 365 days for infrequent ones. This helps reduce errors and gives a better picture of total household spending.

30-Day Recall Period: Collects data based on what households spent in the last 30 days for all items. It may miss big or occasional expenses and can underestimate actual consumption.

In 2022, the total male population living in poverty in India was about ** million. By contrast, the number of females in poverty during the same time period was around ** million.

Looking back 45 years or so, progress against poverty in India has been highly uneven over time and space. It took 20 years for the national poverty rate to fall below—and stay below—its value in the early 1950s. And trend rates of poverty reduction have differed appreciably between states. This research project aimed to understand what influence economy-wide and sectoral factors have played in the evolution of poverty measures for India since the 1950s, and to draw lessons for the future. This database contains detailed statistics on a wide range of topics in India. The data are presented at the state level and at the all-India level separately. The database uses published information to construct comprehensive series in six subject blocks. Period coverage is roughly from 1950 to 1994. The database contains 30 spreadsheets and 89 text files (ASCII) that are grouped into the six subject blocks. The formats and sizes of the 30 spreadsheets vary considerably. The list of variables included: . Expenditures (distribution) . National Accounts . Prices Wages . Population . Rainfall

The median is measured at 2017 Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) using the Poverty and Inequality Platform (http://www.pip.worldbank.org). For some countries, medians are not reported due to grouped and/or confidential data. The reference year is the year in which the underlying household survey data was collected.

BackgroundThough the concept of multidimensional poverty has been acknowledged cutting across the disciplines (among economists, public health professionals, development thinkers, social scientists, policy makers and international organizations) and included in the development agenda, its measurement and application are still limited. Objectives and MethodologyUsing unit data from the National Family and Health Survey 3, India, this paper measures poverty in multidimensional space and examine the linkages of multidimensional poverty with child survival. The multidimensional poverty is measured in the dimension of knowledge, health and wealth and the child survival is measured with respect to infant mortality and under-five mortality. Descriptive statistics, principal component analyses and the life table methods are used in the analyses. ResultsThe estimates of multidimensional poverty are robust and the inter-state differentials are large. While infant mortality rate and under-five mortality rate are disproportionately higher among the abject poor compared to the non-poor, there are no significant differences in child survival among educationally, economically and health poor at the national level. State pattern in child survival among the education, economical and health poor are mixed. ConclusionUse of multidimensional poverty measures help to identify abject poor who are unlikely to come out of poverty trap. The child survival is significantly lower among abject poor compared to moderate poor and non-poor. We urge to popularize the concept of multiple deprivations in research and program so as to reduce poverty and inequality in the population.

Of the total number of people living under extreme poverty in India in 2021, approximately ** million were females. Females were more affected by extreme poverty in India as opposed to their male counterparts during the same time period.

44.80 (%) in 2019. Population below $3.1 a day is the percentage of the population living on less than $3.1 a day at 2005 international prices. As a result of revisions in PPP exchange rates, poverty rates for individual countries cannot be compared with poverty rates reported in earlier editions.

India IN: Survey Mean Consumption or Income per Capita: Bottom 40% of Population: 2017 PPP per day data was reported at 2.010 Intl $/Day in 2011. This records an increase from the previous number of 1.610 Intl $/Day for 2004. India IN: Survey Mean Consumption or Income per Capita: Bottom 40% of Population: 2017 PPP per day data is updated yearly, averaging 1.810 Intl $/Day from Dec 2004 (Median) to 2011, with 2 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 2.010 Intl $/Day in 2011 and a record low of 1.610 Intl $/Day in 2004. India IN: Survey Mean Consumption or Income per Capita: Bottom 40% of Population: 2017 PPP per day data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s India – Table IN.World Bank.WDI: Social: Poverty and Inequality. Mean consumption or income per capita (2017 PPP $ per day) of the bottom 40%, used in calculating the growth rate in the welfare aggregate of the bottom 40% of the population in the income distribution in a country.;World Bank, Global Database of Shared Prosperity (GDSP) (http://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/poverty/brief/global-database-of-shared-prosperity).;;The choice of consumption or income for a country is made according to which welfare aggregate is used to estimate extreme poverty in the Poverty and Inequality Platform (PIP). The practice adopted by the World Bank for estimating global and regional poverty is, in principle, to use per capita consumption expenditure as the welfare measure wherever available; and to use income as the welfare measure for countries for which consumption is unavailable. However, in some cases data on consumption may be available but are outdated or not shared with the World Bank for recent survey years. In these cases, if data on income are available, income is used. Whether data are for consumption or income per capita is noted in the footnotes. Because household surveys are infrequent in most countries and are not aligned across countries, comparisons across countries or over time should be made with a high degree of caution.
