This dataset pulls together Nigeria's core human capital and poverty measures from official World Bank Human Capital Index (2020) and the 2024 Multidimensional Poverty framework. It gives you a clean, cited baseline on child survival, schooling, learning outcomes, stunting and how national productivity compares to global averages.
Use it to frame market size and demand for health, nutrition, education and insurance products, and to support investor and board discussions with credible national figures. Key facts include a Human Capital Index of 0.36 (versus a 0.56 global average), 88 of every 100 children surviving to age 5, and 37 of every 100 children under 5 stunted.
The MPI section explains how multidimensional poverty is measured — its three dimensions, ten indicators and the deprivation threshold — so you can interpret poverty statistics correctly when planning pricing or targeting for lower-income segments.
Important: this is a curated baseline built only from stated values in the source reports. It does not include insurance enrollment, facility counts, HMO market size or fund disbursement figures — every number here is drawn directly from published sources with no estimates added.
