How many people in the world are poor? Yet the answer isn&#8217;t as straightforward as it would seem. In 2005 The World Bank estimated that there were 1.37 billion people who live on less than $1.25 a day but since then emerging economies have expanded by 50%. The Brookings Institution updated that number for 2010 and estimated that the number of poor had fallen by half to 900 million. Other interesting points in the report include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The fall in the poverty rate is unparalleled in the entirety of human history<\/li>\n<li>By 2015 they estimate that fewer than 600 million people will be below the poverty threshold<\/li>\n<li>The First Millenium Development Goal (to half global poverty levels) was probably met in 2007, 8 years ahead of schedule.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Read the (exceedingly short) two page summary over <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/~\/media\/Files\/rc\/papers\/2011\/01_global_poverty_chandy\/01_global_poverty_chandy_execsumm.pdf\">here<\/a> and find out where the poor will be concentrated and the strategies that aid donors must now pursue.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/~\/media\/Files\/rc\/papers\/2011\/01_global_poverty_chandy\/01_global_poverty_chandy_execsumm.pdf\">Brookings<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Via: <a href=\"http:\/\/notasmarginales.com\/2011\/06\/06\/la-pobreza-en-el-mundo-se-est-acabando\/\">NOTAS MARGINALES<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a simple question.
