Advantages of human poverty index
Using deprivation as a means to record levels of poverty, the Human Poverty Index compiles data from developing countries, noted as HPI-1, and from a sample of higher per capita income countries, grouped as HPI-2. In the United Nations Human Development Report 2009, values from 2007 included HPI rankings for 182 countries. However, UNDP which constructs human development index separately calculates ‘human poverty index’ (HPI) which has now been replaced by ‘multi-dimensioned poverty index’. But the existence of unemployment which is an important aspect of human development still remains excluded.

This measure is not satisfied with the dollar-a-day criteria of world bank, (poverty line). The existing poverty measurement, the Human Poverty Index, defined extreme poverty as living on less than $1.25 per day.
