Numbers in Italics represent the p-value for the two-tailed test of equality between the two groups. Figures are based on poverty cutoff of 1/4. Upwardly mobile individuals: Those who were multidimensionally poor at baseline and no longer multidimensionally poor at time t (t = Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4). Downwardly mobile individuals: Those who were not multidimensionally poor at baseline but multidimensionally poor at time t. Structurally poor individuals: Those who were poor at baseline and at time t. Structurally nonpoor individuals: Those who were poor neither at baseline nor at time t
