Years of schooling is one of the indicators included in the National Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI).

The MPI measures poverty based on deprivations across three dimensions: Health, Education, and Living Standards. Years of schooling falls under the Education dimension.

The other indicators in the education dimension of MPI are school attendance. Other dimensions and indicators include Health (Nutrition, Child Mortality) and Living Standards (Cooking fuel, Sanitation, Drinking water, Electricity, Housing, Assets). Literacy rate and Life expectancy are indicators used in other indices like the Human Development Index (HDI).
