This study examines multidimensional poverty through the lens of the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), which incorporates factors like education, health, and living standards alongside income. By analyzing data from developing countries, the research highlights the limitations of traditional income-based poverty measures. It offers policy recommendations and introduces unique perspectives on addressing the issue, proposing more inclusive and innovative approaches to poverty alleviation while emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of societal behaviors that contribute to persistent poverty.
