snoop1130 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 AP Photo/ Gemunu Amarasinghe, File Thailand’s Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) is 0.002, the lowest among all the ASEAN countries, according to a new report released by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) today (Wednesday). The low index, compared to those of Myanmar (0.176), Cambodia (0.170), Laos (0.108), the Philippines (0.024), Viet Nam (0.019), and Indonesia (0.014), indicates improved economy, but the data is based on the pre-COVID times in 2019. According to a recent analysis of the UNDP, the COVID-19 situation has exposed the vulnerabilities that originally existed in the system.

RichardColeman Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 From Link : According to the latest survey, 176,000 people have risen above the poverty line, due to better access to basic utilities, such as sanitation, drinking water, electricity and housing. I'm pretty sure 5 million people up have now fallen below the poverty line in the last 18 months ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to a number of ASEAN countries, but Thailand is the only one where I've seen a large number of homeless people. - Guess, for their "Multidimensional Poverty Index", they just took the GDP figure and divided it by a certain factor...
