Poverty according to the MPI index has increased for the first time since 2010, to 1.2 billion.

But 33 countries have already halved it in less than 15 years (China — in 4). Children and rural areas suffer the most. Cool that China and Vietnam figured out how to cut this stuff fast. Wonder if the UN will ever admit that markets and basic governance work better than another round of conferences. Asking for 1.2 billion friends.
