This research has identified the situation and solutions to approach from single-dimensional poverty to multi-dimensional poverty in the Lao People's Democratic Republic. The author used statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics, government reports, and agencies related to the topic to evaluate and analyze the situation of single-dimensional poverty to multi-dimensional poverty; apply multidimensional poverty measurement (MPI): health, education and human living standards, thereby drawing out limitations and shortcomings in poverty reduction activities. Then propose solutions to effectively improve poverty reduction activities in the Lao People's Democratic Republic in the coming time.
