| description |
The authors present new estimates of the
extent of the developing world's progress against
poverty. By the frugal $1 a day standard, they find that
there were 1.1 billion poor in 2001-almost 400 million fewer
than 20 years earlier. Over the same period, the number of
poor declined by more than 400 million in China, though half
of this decline was in the first few years of the 1980s. The
number of poor outside China rose slightly over the period.
A marked bunching up of people between $1 and $2 a day has
also emerged. Sub-Saharan Africa has become the region with
the highest incidence of extreme poverty and the greatest
depth of poverty. If these trends continue, then the
aggregate $1 a day poverty rate for 1990 will be halved by
2015, though only East and South Asia will reach this goal. |
