The Human Poverty Index for Developing Countries (IPH) is a social indicator -a poverty index-, prepared for developing countries, which measures deficiencies or poverty in three aspects:

Long and healthy life, measured according to the probability at birth of not living until 40 years.
Education: measured by the adult illiteracy rate.
Decent standard of living: measured by the percentage of the population without sustainable access to an improved water source and the percentage of children with insufficient weight for their age.

Multidimensional Poverty Index

Since 2010, the new Multidimensional Poverty Index (IPM or MPI -Multidimensional Poverty Index-) supersedes the human poverty indices (IPH and IPH-1/IPH-2)

IPH - Poverty index or poverty indicator

IPH 1 - Human poverty index for developing countries (IPH-1, developed since 1998).
IPH 2 - Human poverty index for selected OECD countries (IPH-2, developed since 1998).
