Description: 
The MPM is composed of six indicators: consumption or income, educational attainment, educational enrollment, drinking water, sanitation, and electricity. These are mapped into three dimensions of well-being: monetary, education, and basic infrastructure services. The three MPM dimensions are weighted equally, and within each dimension each indicator is also weighted equally. Individuals are considered "multidimensionally deprived" if they fall short of the threshold in at least one dimension or in a combination of indicators equivalent in weight to a full dimension. The MPM headcount indicates the share (%) of the population defined as multidimensionally poor.

Description: 
Data for energy use per capita downloaded from Our World In Data (OWID) chart titled "Energy use per person vs. GDP per capita, 2020." Our World In Data (OWID) reports primary energy consumption in terawatthours (TWh). Conversion factor: 1 terawatthour = 0.0036 exajoule.

Primary energy is the raw, untransformed energy that is harvested from a natural source. In energy accounting, primary energy is the form that is first accounted for in a statistical energy balance, before any transformation to secondary or tertiary forms of energy.

OWID's principal sources are the BP Statistical Review of World Energy and the U.S. Energy Information Administration's international datasets (see links below). See the OWID source for their complete methodology for combining sources.

Countries are grouped by continent using the World Bank's classification system.
