Relevance of our findings to COVID-19 responses

In the final stages of the Individual Deprivation Measure Program, COVID-19 threatened the lives and well-being of people around the world.

Our analysis of our data on individual level multidimensional poverty in Indonesia and South Africa demonstrated both the vulnerabilities to COVID-19 of people already living in poverty and the ways in which COVID-19 is likely to deepen multidimensional poverty. This work resulted in a series of briefing papers, which can be found on our Resources page.
