- Globally, the proportion of people living in extreme poverty fell from 36% in 1990 to 10% in 2015.
- The pace of improvement is slowing, and projections suggest that 6% of the population will still be living in extreme poverty in 2030.
- Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 70 million people are pushed into extreme poverty in 2020.
