Multidimensional poverty index includes: i. Health ii. Education iii. Living Standard Select correct answer from the codes given below:

1. A

   Only i is correct

   Health is one MPI dimension (nutrition, child mortality) but education and living standard are also included. ‘Only i’ is incomplete.

2. B

   Only ii and iii are correct

   Education and living standard are included, but health is too. Omitting health is wrong.

3. C

   Only i and ii are correct

   Health and education are included, but living standard (cooking fuel, sanitation, water, electricity, housing, assets) is the third dimension. ‘Only i and ii’ is incomplete.

4. D

   i. ii and iii are correct

   The global Multidimensional Poverty Index uses three equally weighted dimensions: health, education and living standard. All three of i, ii and iii are correct, so (d) is the official key.

Summary. Official key is (d). MPI = health + education + living standard (Alkire-Foster / UNDP-OPHI). None of the three may be dropped.
