Global Multidimensional Poverty Rises for First Time Since 2010

The United Nations Development Programme reports that global multidimensional poverty has increased for the first time since 2010, breaking a fifteen-year trend of steady decline. The measure tracks deprivations beyond income, including health, education and living standards. The announcement has drawn attention to setbacks in development progress and renewed debate over aid, debt relief and poverty-reduction policies.

Why now: The UNDP's finding that poverty is rising after more than a decade of improvement challenges assumptions about global development progress.
