Notes
a. Not all indicators were available for all countries, so caution should be used in cross-country comparisons. When an indicator is missing, weights of available indicators are adjusted to total 100 percent. See Technical note 5 at https://hdr.undp.org/system/files/documents//mpi2022technicalnotespdf.pdf for details.
b. D indicates data from Demographic and Health Surveys, M indicates data from Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys, N indicates data from national surveys and P indicates data from Pan Arab Population and Family Health Surveys (see https://hdr.undp.org/mpi-faqs for the list of national surveys).
c. Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified.
d. Missing indicator on nutrition.
e. Value is not reported because it is based on a small number of multidimensionally poor people.
f. Missing indicator on child mortality.
g. Considers child deaths that occurred at any time because the survey did not collect the date of child deaths.
h. The methodology was adjusted to account for missing indicator on nutrition and incomplete indicator on child mortality (the survey did not collect the date of child deaths).
i. Based on the version of data accessed on 7 June 2016.
j. Given the information available in the data, child mortality was constructed based on deaths that occurred between surveys- that is, between 2012 and 2014. Child deaths reported by an adult man in the household were taken into account because the date of death was reported.
k. Missing indicator on housing.
l. Missing indicator on cooking fuel.
n. Urban areas only.
o. Captures only deaths of children under age 5 who died in the last five years and deaths of children ages 12?18 years who died in the last two years.
p. Indicator on sanitation follows the national classification in which pit latrine with slab is considered unimproved.
q. Missing indicator on school attendance.
r. Following the national report, latrines are considered an improved source for the sanitation indicator.
s. Because of the high proportion of children excluded from nutrition indicators due to measurements not being taken, estimates based on the 2019 Serbia Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey should be interpreted with caution. The unweighted sample size used for the multidimensional poverty calculation is 82.8 percent.
t. Revised estimate in comparison from the 2020 MPI.
Definitions
Multidimensional Poverty Index: Proportion of the population that is multidimensionally poor adjusted by the intensity of the deprivations. See Technical note 5 at https://hdr.undp.org/system/files/documents//mpi2022technicalnotespdf.pdf for details on how the Multidimensional Poverty Index is calculated.
Multidimensional poverty headcount: Population with a deprivation score of at least 33.3 percent. It is expressed as a share of the population in the survey year, the number of multidimensionally poor people in the survey year and the projected number of multidimensionally poor people in 2020.
Intensity of deprivation of multidimensional poverty: Average deprivation score experienced by people in multidimensional poverty.
Inequality among the poor: Variance of individual deprivation scores of poor people. It is calculated by subtracting the deprivation score of each multidimensionally poor person from the intensity, squaring the differences and dividing the sum of the weighted squares by the number of multidimensionally poor people.
Population in severe multidimensional poverty: Percentage of the population in severe multidimensional poverty?that is, those with a deprivation score of 50 percent or more.
Population vulnerable to multidimensional poverty: Percentage of the population at risk of suffering multiple deprivations?that is, those with a deprivation score of 20?33.3 percent.
Contribution of deprivation in dimension to overall multidimensional poverty: Percentage of the Multidimensional Poverty Index attributed to deprivations in each dimension.
Population living below national poverty line: Percentage of the population living below the national poverty line, which is the poverty line deemed appropriate for a country by its authorities. National estimates are based on population-weighted subgroup estimates from household surveys.
Population living below PPP $1.90 a day: Percentage of the population living below the international poverty line of $1.90 (in 2011 purchasing power parity [PPP] terms) a day.
