ABSTRACT
The main goals of this paper were to construct a Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) for Brazil using data from PNAD and also provides an analysis of its evolution for the period 2004-2015. The proposed IPM follows the method developed by Alkire and Santos (2013)Alkire, S. and Santos, M. E. (2013) Measuring Acute Poverty in the Developing World: Robustness and Scope of the Multidimensional Poverty Index. Available at: http://www.ophi.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/ophi-wp-59.pdf.

. The results confirm the reduction on the incidence of multidimensional poverty in Brazil. However, people move out of poverty into the stage of vulnerability, showing a gradual improvement on living conditions. Regionally, there was a reduction in the incidence of poverty in the whole country, and notably in the North and Northeast regions.
