The number of people living in extreme poverty increased by approximately 120 million, which
brought the global poverty rate to 9.4%.
In 2021, the global poverty rate is projected to increase for the first time in over two decades
due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It is estimated that between 88 million to 115 million
people will be pushed into extreme poverty.
In 2022, due to impact of war in Ukraine and Covid-19 will lead to additional 75 million to 95
million people living in extreme poverty.
In 2023 (till 2030),given current trends, 575 million people (nearly 7% of the world
population) will still be living in extreme poverty in 2030 as compared to 800 million people in
2015(10.8)
