The methodology of multidimensional measurement of poverty in Mexico links two analytical spheres: economic wellbeing and social rights. The latter includes indicators of social deprivations (education lag, access to health services, access to social security, housing quality and housing spaces, access to utilities at home, and access to nutritious and quality food.)

In 2021, Mexico’s National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy (CONEVAL) presented the results of the most recent multidimensional measurements of poverty at the state and municipal levels for 2020. As far as the results of state poverty are concerned, this is the second measurement made during the administration of Governor Alejandro Murat Hinojosa.

Internally displaced persons (IDPs) disproportionately suffer chronic deprivations, such as food insecurity, temporary housing, and limited access to services and employment. Women and girls in forced displacement also face increased vulnerabilities, including greater health and gender-based violence risks than their male peers. To evaluate the intersection of forced displacement, multidimensional poverty, and gender, we developed a gender-sensitive Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) for forcibly displaced populations in five Sub-Saharan African countries: Ethiopia, Northeast Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, and Sudan.

In February 2022, Citigroup and SOPHIA Oxford launched a report presenting a robust social metrics framework for Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing and impact assessment using a multidimensional poverty approach.
