Describe global poverty trends.

Explanation:
Global poverty trends
The number of people living in poverty as measured by the higher international poverty lines of $3.20 and $5.50 increased between 1990 and 1999, but has fallen since then. In 2015, over one-fifth of the global population lived below $3.20 and almost a half lived below $5.50 a day.
Regional poverty trends
Extreme poverty is increasingly becoming concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa.[4] In 1990, 15% of people who were extremely poor lived in the region, in 2015 this share was 56%.
Countries in the East Asia and Pacific region made up 52% of the extremely poor population in 1990, while in 2015 they represented just 6%.
National poverty trends
China and India are responsible for the greatest national reductions in poverty. Almost 1 billion people across those two countries moved out of extreme poverty between 1990 and 2015.
Extreme poverty has increased in most countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The largest increases have occurred in Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Madagascar and Nigeria.
Data availability and timeliness
As we enter the SDGs’ decade of delivery, essential poverty data remains out of date: the most recent year for which we have globally comparable poverty data is 2015.
Timeliness of this data must improve if we are serious about monitoring

Answer:
The success rate of reducing poverty varies from state to state, causing inter-state disparities in poverty level. Orissa, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh are the three poorest states in India with their people living below the poverty line being 47, 42 and 37 per cent, respectively. Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh are the three better-off states in India as far as poverty is concerned. There has been a substantial reduction in global poverty. Poverty declined in China and South-East Asian countries as a result of rapid economic growth and huge investments in the development of human resources. In Latin America, the ratio of poverty remained almost the same. In sub-Saharan Africa, poverty saw an upward trend rather than a downward trend. It rose from 41% in 1981 to 46% in 2001. Poverty has surfaced itself in some of the former socialist countries like Russia, where formerly it was non-existent.
