I know when you scroll on Facebook the timeline is completely filled with things WRONG about our world (ISIS, lost planes, hollow threats from N. Korea) but towards the end of the year I just wanted to share some positive info also...we sure need it. Plus its good information to know when youre debating people who you know make absolutely no sense, but you wish you had data to back your points up. Keep in mind this is a global assessment. Quick Overview: 1. Global poverty is down from 52% in 1981 to below 21% - poverty is defined as living on less than $1.25 per day ( Although median household income has barley increased in the last 20yrs for Americans) 2. Global Male and female Life Expectancy has increased by 6yrs from 1990 to 2012 (There is still a substantial inequality between rich and poor countries) 3. Hunger is falling (Although it should be noted that hidden hunger or malnutrition affects more than 2 billion people worldwide) Article: vox/2014/11/24/7272929/charts-thankful
