Poverty gap at $3.65 a day (2017 PPP) (%)

This indicator quantifies the average income or consumption deficit experienced by individuals living below the established poverty threshold of $3.65 per day, adjusted for purchasing power parity as of 2017. By incorporating the concept of nonpoor households as having no shortfall, it effectively highlights not only how widespread poverty is, but also its severity. A higher percentage reflects greater inequality among those affected, underscoring the critical need for targeted interventions. Additionally, this measure aids policymakers in designing tailored strategies to alleviate economic disparities, as it reveals both the depth of deprivation and the urgency of addressing the underlying factors contributing to persistent poverty.
