"Most people in the world no longer live in extreme poverty!

Today, just 9% of people in the world live in extreme poverty, with less than
$2.15 per day. However, most people’s view of extreme poverty is outdated by
many decades!

Back in 2002, 26% of people lived in extreme poverty. That fell to 8.3% by
2022. Even though Coronavirus set progress back, it didn’t change the fact that
life has continually improved for most people over the decades."
