Abstract

The Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) was developed by the Oxford Poverty & Human Development Initiative (OPHI) in 2010. The concept of multidimensionality is based on the theory of poverty and human development created by the Indian economist Amartya Sen in the 80’s. Theaim of this work is focused on the application of the MPI constituted by indicators of education, work, and standard of living in Brazil using the National Household Sample Survey Continuos  - NHSSC produced by IBGE from 2016 to 2019. The methodology used for modeling this study is based on Alkire and Foster - AF (2009) and measures the incidence and intensity of poverty and the MPI at the national level as well as disaggregated by nine Brazilian metropolitan regions. The results regarding the metropolitan regions point to a great interregional contrast of multidimensional poverty in the country. In turn, the national MPI has shown a relative growth during the years from 2016 to 2019, but significant in terms of comparison with previous years with an evident observation concerning the progress of country's multidimensional poverty in recent years.
