Props to you world :) Keep it up! Lets eliminate global poverty and then establish world peace and then focus on technological advances while leaving behind a notable cultural legacy in an environmentally regenerative society! In recent decades, low- and middle-income countries such as Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba and China have succeeded in dramatically improving their citizens’ health. The number of people living below the poverty line has also fallen significantly in many large countries: Between 1981 and 2005, China’s poverty rate dropped from 84% to 16%, India’s from 60% to 42% and Brazil’s from 17% to 8%. Within Africa, Ghana and Senegal halved their incidence of poverty between the mid-1990s and 2010. Furthermore, the highest rates of GDP growth over the past decade have been in East Asia (8%), South Asia (7%) and Sub-Saharan Africa (5%) — “the three regions which account for the bulk of absolute poverty” globally, according to a 2013 World Bank study. - globalpolicyjournal/blog/26/08/2014/key-trends-global-development-poverty-health-united-nations-development-programme-20
