UNDP: Global poverty reaches 1.2B
According to the 2026 update of the Multidimensional Poverty Index released by the United Nations Development Programme and Oxford Initiative, the number of people living in multidimensional poverty has reached 1.2 billion for the first time since the index was launched in 2010, representing an increase of 51.5 million compared to the previous update. This includes 617 million children, 83% of whom live in rural areas. While some countries continue to make rapid progress in reducing poverty rates across a wide range, the rising number of poor individuals serves as a global warning. These individuals suffer from hunger, school dropout, lack of clean water and electricity. The report emphasizes that this situation is unacceptable and can be improved through urgent measures.
