Question

Describe global povert trends

Answer 1

Answer:

Reducing global poverty was a key aim of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The target for the MDGs was to reduce the number of people living in extreme poverty by half between 1990 and 2015. Ending poverty now stands at the core of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), launched in 2015; the first of its seventeen goals is ‘no poverty by 2030’. Tracking global progress on international poverty tells us how close the world is to achieving this aim.
