Half of the world’s poor live in just 5 countries

[BringHarmony]

ayyyyy
someone talking about multidimensional poverty
we should also look into the availability of hospitals, schools etc in south Asian countries
income is useless if someone cant affords basic necessities.

Actually MPI index should include things like that. They must be having a number of inputs that are then weighted into a final number.

In sociology there will always be anamolies. You can call it 'oil'.

Proves my point. Genetics are weak predictor of wealth.
FYI, Chinese were having the same rib-cage poverty just 50 years back. At that juncture someone would have argued the same --Chinese have broken genetics-- but then manufacturing outsourcing happened and rest is history.

Two of these 5 countries (India and Nigeria) have immense resources to fix it, but no political will.

Maybe Nigeria....but certainly India is achieving results:

If we are talking about much more broader kind of poverty (MPI):

• In India, 271 million people moved out of poverty in ten years.

Think of nearly 1.4 billion. Yes, 1,400,000,000. That number is apt to produce lots of statistical probabilities.

1. Microsoft CEO?
2. Google CEO?
3. A Steel magnate?
4. A IT genius or two?
5. Score of billionaires?

Right. But equally those statistical anomalies come with 30% of world poverty. India's problem is not that it does not have bright people. The problem is they are drowned by billion pool of genetic misfits and underclass that their own ruling elite understood. That is exactly why Hinduism has Dalits, Shudras etc.

Hinduism is used by the 1 percent to control the 99%

 

[Pakistansdefender]

It is good Pakistan name is not in the list but it is alarming for india that their name is included

You know they are growing. Their economy is great.
But the issue is that the core problems remains same.. Though they have this feel good factor and good reputation but poor remains poor and rich is becoming richer by the day..
The poor Indians you see, they cheer at ambanis money or some other big shots money, without releasing what their actual reality is..

Ribcage poverty is more measured by MPI rather than just income poverty:

@GURU DUTT @Tps43 @Pakhtoon yum @Mage



Yes...about the same (give a cpl years lag in MPI data between the two) but BD better overall I would say. We will see more as more MPI reports come out through the years to come.

One can for example check the infant mortality, child nutrition etc of the two countries that helps say health indices in MPI versus just going on purely income. i.e MPI looks at that broader income deployment+efficiency....rather than treat the amount/threshold % itself as be all end all.

btw both indian and bengali data are newer then pakistan so lets see how pakistan performs after 2014 data , that will be interesting .

@GHALIB please learn to become a real Muslim like this poster. You’ve been quite a disappointment apparently.

The Chinese are a high IQ race, even higher than the White race in general. Which is why they are now doing well.

That is rationalization after they turned their fortunes. There are many countries that became rich without IQ. All of these are worthless rationalizations.
For that matter, do you have any estimate of Chinese IQ from 1950 or 60?

Whats funny is that the IQ numbers people keep comparing, never actually measured any actual people's IQs in the countries lol.

That's good to see.

 

[Nilgiri]

That's good to see.

I wish for continued progress on it in all subcontinent. We all have long way to go still...removing extreme poverty is one step, but all the broad poverty forms are quite a different larger challenge in many ways.

 

[TruthTheOnlyDefense]

Australia should be on the list, we are a poor country.

Of the world’s 736 million extreme poor in 2015, 368 million—half of the total—lived in just 5 countries. The 5 countries with the highest number of extreme poor are (in descending order): India, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, and Bangladesh. They also happen to be the most populous countries of South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, the two regions that together account for 85 percent (629 million) of the world’s poor. Therefore, to make significant continued progress towards the global target of reducing extreme poverty (those living on less than $1.90 a day) to less than 3 percent by 2030, large reductions in poverty in these five countries will be crucial.


However, we mustn’t lose sight of the numerous other countries with high poverty rates. As poverty projections to 2030 for these five countries reveal, uneven outcomes are likely (see figure 2). When projections are based on countries growing in line with past growth rates (the regional average over the last ten years), extreme poverty in India and Bangladesh approaches zero by 2030 but extreme poverty in Nigeria, DRC, and Ethiopia remains quite elevated. The uneven progress across these 5 countries is indicative of the broader uneven progress globally. An outcome where extreme poverty is nearly eliminated throughout the world except in one region, sub-Saharan Africa, certainly does not portray a picture of a world free of poverty. As emphasized in the Poverty and Shared Prosperity Report 2018, we should go beyond the focus on reducing the global poverty rate to below 3 percent and strive to ensure that all countries and all people can share in the benefits of economic development.

To learn more, read the recently released Poverty and Shared Prosperity report 2018, “Piecing Together the Poverty Puzzle.”

glad to know pakistan is not in the list

 

[TruthTheOnlyDefense]

And here I thought that India was a super rich country.

 

[Asian.Century]

My goodness super power India is at the top.
