Estimates of life expectancy and premature mortality among multidimensional poor and non-poor in India.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs), reduction of multidimensional poverty and the increase in longevity are concomitant. Although a number of studies have estimated multidimensional poverty, studies on estimates of life expectancy and pre-mature mortality by multidimensional poverty are limited. We estimated life expectancy and premature mortality among multidimensionally poor and multidimensionally non-poor in India.

Methods

We have used the micro data of 636,699 households and 2,843,917 individuals from the National Family and Health Survey-5, 2019-21. We estimated multidimensional poverty in three dimensions-education, health, and standard of living using 11 indicators.
