The Human Poverty Index (HPI) is a composite measure used to assess poverty beyond income, focusing on human deprivation in key dimensions of well-being. It evaluates factors such as longevity (life expectancy), knowledge (literacy rates), and standard of living (access to basic services). The HPI highlights the multidimensional nature of poverty, offering insights into the quality of life and social inequalities faced by populations. It has been primarily used by the United Nations to inform policy and development strategies.
