The intensity of multidimensional poverty in Sri Lanka is 0.3887 (Table A4). Among the districts and sectors, the differences are not significant, ranging from 0.3510 in Matara to 0.4380 in Trincomalee. People who are multidimensionally poor, regardless of where they live, face more or less the same deprivations and are deprived to about the same extent, although the indicators on which they are deprived are different. Figure 2.11: Multidimensional Poverty: Relative Importance of Indicators, 2009-2010 Source: Computations by the report team of the Institute of Policy Studies of Sri Lanka using Department of Census and Statistics of Sri Lanka 2010c. Note: The data did not include information for Killinochchi, Mullativu and Mannar districts in the Northern Province. Chapter 2 Patterns of Human Development 31
What are the factors that push people into multidimensional poverty The MPI indicators revealed two distinct types of deprivations at the national level in 2009-2010 (Figure 2.11). The first is health as gauged by nutrition, where calorie consumption of the household is less than 80 percent of the requirement, and household expenditure on food is more than 60 percent of the total. The second deprivation is where the household head is chronically ill or disabled - the principal cause for acute poverty in Sri Lanka. It contributes to 28 percent of the deprivations experienced by the average multidimensionally poor person; the nutrition indicator contributes to 25 percent. Both factors require the attention of policy makers and planners. Such attention would be, in effect, an investment in the country’s children, as they are dependent upon their caregivers for material support and thus directly affected by multidimensional poverty.
