, a motorbike taxi driver who spent months hiding from his landlord during the covid-19 lockdown will be back on the road in 2022 and beginning to repay his debt. A farmer in rural Zambia will be relieved that the local college has reopened and is buying up her crop for hungry students. In Delhi urban migrants who fled to their home villages when the city was shuttered will be back and looking for work.
Covid-19 plunged millions into poverty as countries went into lockdown, jobs dried up and people living in cramped, unsanitary housing struggled to keep the virus at bay. In the coming year, as lockdowns are lifted and economic activity restarts, many will be rebuilding their lives. At the end of 2020, the number of people living on less than $1.90 a day had increased to almost 750m, according to the World Data Lab’s World Poverty Clock, a predictive tool which includes World Bank anddata.
Globally, the pandemic has pushed lots of people in middle-income countries, many of whom lived just above the poverty line, back into penury. In 2020 and 2021, economists warned of a “re-Asianisation” of poverty as millions of Indians, in particular, faced fresh hardship. But, as the recovery takes hold, poverty will once again become concentrated in the poorest parts of sub-Saharan Africa and fragile states. By 2030, over 60% of those living on less than $1.
Within nations, there is growing concern about poverty in cities. One in ten people who are poor in 2022 will be in urban areas. Many will be looking for work, doing things like cleaning homes and hawking street food. But jobs will be hard to find while consumer confidence remains weak and the threat of disease lingers. By late October 2021, some countries like Spain and Singapore had managed to vaccinate three-quarters of their population.
Its coming to three months ever since I cried to many philanthropists for help with all evidence that people are suffering in Uganda with even a clear proposal and they turn me down and others don't even bother to reply back.
It would be possible if the so called philanthropists are considering everything person on the earth without marginalizing some and helping others who already well off. So those who have will remain having and us who don't have we shall remain crying.
All good but what tells you that the women used in the cover are 'extremely poor'? Stop using indigenous folks and coloured people as models for poverty.
Why use a picture of india,isn't it richest coutry in the near future?Shame on you ,Apologize！
Elon Musk offered $6 Billion and all he asked in return was transparency. Nobody would agree to that
Who are you anyway the money police ? 1-90 is completely different amounts in different places currency rpi under 15 a week isn’t extreme poverty ? Wait I’ll buy some Cadbury chocolate byw purple belongs to us
Ending extreme poverty is not impossible- the number of those in extreme poverty is falling. Is that because some are now dead? Arn’t you run by that great philanthropist Rothchilds or whatever
That is if corruption will let the 100bn reach the people who need it the most. Otherwise, we may just end up funding new crop of millionaires.
Considering the US devoted a couple of trillion to fix Afghanistan (didn't work) 100 billion seems like a bargain.
Don't feed the poor with fish, teach them to catch fish instead
Falling is good.
Wrong again! 'When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist' - Dom Helder Camara. Mad men rule our world, look at the mess.
