Bangladesh

The latest version of the PPI for Bangladesh was created in August of 2020 by Innovations for Poverty Action. Indicators in the PPI for Bangladesh are based on data from the 2016-7 Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES).

The Poverty Probability Index (PPI^®) is a poverty measurement tool for organizations and businesses with a mission to serve the poor.  The PPI is statistically sound, yet simple to use: the answers to 10 questions about a household’s characteristics and asset ownership are scored to compute the likelihood that the household is living below the poverty line.  With the PPI, organizations can identify the clients, customers, or employees who are most likely to be poor, integrating objective poverty data into their assessments and strategic decision-making.
