First, progress is slower than we thought. Between 1980 & 2011, global extreme #poverty declined by only six percentage points, from 23% to 17%. During the same period, the number of people in extreme poverty actually increased, from 1.01 billion to 1.20 billion.

Second, #poverty alleviation has not been steady. In the 1990's the poverty rate increased dramatically, during the period when #neoliberal structural adjustment programmes were imposed on many developing countries.
