Q1In which year was the concept of the Multidimensional Poverty Index introduced?
Explanation
The Multidimensional Poverty Index was introduced in 2010 by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative and the United Nations Development Programme. It measures poverty through overlapping deprivations in health, education and living standards, rather than only income. The year 2011 came after the index had already been launched. The year 2000 is associated with the Millennium Development Goals period, not the introduction of this index. The year 2008 predates the formal launch, although research on multidimensional poverty was already developing.
