In 2013, the latest comprehensive data showed that 767 million people were living on less than $1.90 a day, a decrease from 881 million the previous year. The strongest income rises were seen in Asia. World Bank President Jim Yong Kim noted the progress in reducing poverty and increasing shared prosperity despite a struggling global economy. The new figures demonstrate advancements in helping the poor over the past 25 years, with nearly 1.1 billion fewer poor in 2013 compared to 1990. These findings bring the world closer to achieving the United Nations goal of ending extreme poverty by 2030. The goal is to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, which consist of 17 goals aimed at addressing poverty, inequality, and climate change. However, reaching this target will also require addressing persistent inequality, according to the World Bank. Francisco Ferreira, a senior adviser at the World Bank, stated that meeting the international community's goals by 2030 will involve addressing inequality and promoting more inclusive growth. The World Bank reported that income inequality had increased between 1988 and 2013. Nevertheless, recent data indicates that inequality has decreased in over 40 countries, including Brazil, Peru, Mali, and Cambodia. Sub-Saharan Africa is home to half of the world's extreme poor, while a third of the global poor live in South Asia. The Bank reported that poverty reduction has been most significant in East Asia and the Asia Pacific regions, with countries like China, Indonesia, and India leading the way. In 2015, the Bank predicted that the number of people living in extreme poverty would fall below 10 percent of the world's population for the first time.
