Global Poverty Index: 1.2 Billion in Extreme Poverty
The United Nations report and the Oxford Initiative for Poverty and Human Development indicate that the number of people suffering from extreme poverty worldwide has reached 1.2 billion, an increase of 51.5 million compared to the previous year. This is the first time in 16 years that there has been an rise in the number of the poor. The increase is attributed to population growth, with most of the poor living in rural areas—especially in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia—where about 83.3% of them reside. Despite progress in some countries, the gap remains, and data shows that more than half of those affected are children living in poverty. Efforts are ongoing to improve the situation through collective action and sustainable policies.
