Global Poverty

Through the use of storytelling, videos, and interactive maps, ESRI  takes a look at one method of measuring global poverty.  From their site, "This measure, called the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), addresses poverty through an integrative approach."

According to Maps Mania, "The Global Poverty Map provides a number of global views of poverty based on the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI). The map provides an overview of poverty around the world based on the 2014 Global MPI findings, with each country shaded on the map based on each country's MPI score.

The map also includes a map view based on the three main dimensions of the Index, health, education, and living standards. For this layer of the map countries are colored to show the predominant dimension of poverty in each country."
