The number of people living in extreme poverty around the world has sharply declined over the past three decades, but in 2010 it still included roughly 400 million children, or one third of those living in abysmal conditions, according to a new World Bank analysis released - that for the first time - gives an in-depth profile of the poorest people in the world.
The report found that 721 million fewer people lived in extreme poverty in 2010 compared to 1981. But it also concluded that a disproportionate number of children were among them: Children accounted for one in three of those living in extreme poverty around the world in 2010, compared with only one in five of those living above the poverty line. In low-income countries, the percentages were even worse, with half of all children living in poverty.
Six months ago, the Governors of the World Bank Group endorsed two global goals: ending extreme poverty by 2030 and promoting shared prosperity by fostering income growth of the bottom 40 percent of the population in developing countries. Poverty reduction globally has moved at a faster pace than expected; the Millennium Development Goal of halving extreme poverty between 1990 and 2015 was reached five years ahead of time.
But the analysis released today underscored the difficulty of reaching the goal to end poverty by 2030, finding that while the reduction in poverty moved significantly in middle-income countries such as China and India, low-income countries showed much slower progress.
While extreme poverty rates have declined in all regions, the world’s 35 low-income countries – 26 of which are in Africa -- registered 100 million more extremely poor people today than three decades ago. In 2010, 33 percent of the extreme poor lived in low-income countries, compared to 13 percent in 1981.
