The Poverty Probability Index (PPI®) is a poverty measurement tool for organizations and businesses with a mission to serve the poor.  The PPI is statistically sound, yet simple to use: the answers to 10 questions about a household’s characteristics and asset ownership are scored to compute the likelihood that the household is living below the poverty line.  With the PPI, organizations can identify the clients, customers, or employees who are most likely to be poor, integrating objective poverty data into their assessments and strategic decision-making.

The latest version of the PPI for Brazil was created in March 2010 by Mark Schreiner of Microfinance Risk Management, L.L.C. Indicators in the PPI for Brazil are based on data from the 2008 National Household Survey (Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicilios, PNAD).
