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.

The global Multidimensional Poverty Index provides the only comprehensive measure available for non-income poverty, which has become a critical underpinning of the SDGs. The global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) measures multidimensional poverty in over 100 developing countries, using internationally comparable datasets and is updated annually. The measure captures the acute deprivations that each person faces at the same time using information from 10 indicators, which are grouped into three equally weighted dimensions: health, education, and living standards. Critically, the MPI comprises variables that are already reported under the Demographic Health Surveys (DHS), the Multi-Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) and in some cases, national surveys.

The subnational multidimensional poverty data from the data tables are published by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI), University of Oxford. For the details of the global MPI methodology, please see the latest Methodological Notes found here.

ABSTRACT In the 1980s, Latin America experienced economic crises, with structural adjustment programs and rising unemployment, which accentuated poverty and social inequalities. Subsequently, several countries adopted Conditional Cash Transfer Programs, in a scenario of emphasis on social policies in the fight against poverty. In Mexico and in Brazil, programs were preceded by other income transfer initiatives for the poor, initiated respectively in the 1980s and 1990s. The objective of the study was to analyze the programs Bolsa Família in Brazil (created in 2004) and Oportunidades in Mexico (created in 2002). The analysis reference was based on the historical-comparative perspective and literature review, documental analysis, analysis of secondary data analysis and semi-structured interviews were used as research techniques. Differences were observed between the programs in terms of objectives, design and conditionalities, including health. Despite some positive effects on income, health and education indicators, such programs are limited for the fight against poverty.
