Q1The Human Poverty Index measures deprivation as a composite index of:
Explanation
The Human Poverty Index used by UNDP captured deprivation in three broad dimensions of human development: a short life, lack of knowledge and a poor standard of living. That matches longevity, knowledge and standard of living. Nutrition alone is too narrow because the index used wider deprivation indicators, not just food intake. Basic needs is a loose expression and does not name the standard HPI dimensions. Sanitation can be related to living conditions, but it is not listed as a separate core dimension in the index.
