Recognizing that some “frictional” poverty will inevitably persist over the next two decades, the World Bank’s formal target is to reduce the percentage of people living below the poverty line – defined as daily consumption of less than $1.25 (in purchasing-power-parity terms) per person – to less than 3%.
世界银行认识到一些“摩擦性”贫困在未来二十年是不可避免的，因此其正式目标让生活在贫困线以下的人的比重低于3%。贫困线的标准是每人每天消费少于1.25美元（以购买力平价衡量）。
