Extreme
poverty rates have been cut by more than half since 1990. While this is a remarkable
achievement, one in five people in developing regions still live on less than
$1.25 a day, and there are millions more who make little more than this daily
amount, plus many people risk slipping back into poverty. Poverty
is more than the lack of income and resources to ensure a sustainable
livelihood. Its manifestations include hunger and malnutrition, limited access
to education and other basic services, social discrimination and exclusion as
well as the lack of participation in decision-making. Economic growth must be
inclusive to provide sustainable jobs and promote equality.
