| Periodicity |
Annual |
| Detailed definition |
The Severe MSD rate in a given population is the percentage of persons in this population who are severely materially and socially deprived.
The index used for the Severe MSD indicator is the same as the one used for the MSD indicator. It is an unweighted sum of the 13 material and social deprivation items (6 relate to the individual and 7 to the household).
Some of these items are collected at the household level and thus capture household deprivation, while others are collected at the adult level and may therefore differ within the same household.
Whereas a person is considered as materially and socially deprived when he/she experiences an enforced lack of 5 or more of the aforementioned 13 deprivation items, a person is considered as severely materially and socially deprived when he/she experiences an enforced lack of 7 or more of these items. |

| Comments/ Policy relevance |
The new “Material and Social Deprivation” (MSD) is the key EU indicator for measuring deprivation; it replaces the former “Material Deprivation” indicator .
The severe MSD indicator is one of the three sub-indicators included in the headline at-risk-of-poverty-or-social-exclusion indicator. Informing about the severity of MSD is relevant to complement the MSD indicator. It provides useful information on the composition of the materially and socially deprived population. It allows distinguishing the severe forms of MSD from non-severe forms, thereby enabling to have specific tracking of the severely socially and materially deprived population. This tracking is relevant since the severe and non-severe materially and socially deprived populations may have different evolutions in a given Member State or since Member States with similar MSD rates may largely differ as regards the composition, from a severity perspective, of their materially and socially deprived populations.
