RPi

The Relational Poverty Index (RPi) is calculated using the following four psycho-sociological indicators: relationship with elders, relationship with neighbours, relationship with strangers, and relationship with friends. A person with a RPi superior to 0 corresponds to a developed human being. A RPi between 0 and -8 corresponds to a developing human being. Between -9 and -16, the person is classified as least developed.

This four point analytical framework was schematized by researchers affiliated with Sponsor a Wealthy Child. Anyone interested in knowing their RPi can take the free screening test in the section Screening of RP.
