The #wealthinequality elephant curve 1995-2021. Very high growth in wealth at top of the "trunk" (top 1% captured 38% of growth), "wealth squeeze" of middle class in rich countries, and modest growth in middle income countries, but from very low base. See #InequalityReport.

Societal Poverty: A Relative and Relevant Measure
Abstract. Poverty lines are typically higher in richer countries, and lower in poorer ones, reflecting the relative nature of national assessments of who i
Because the societal poverty line rises with median income, it is not surprising that societal poverty has declined at a slower pace than extreme poverty. public.flourish.studio/visualisation/…
Updated numbers and trends of global societal poverty.
In 2018, the World Bank introduced a Societal Poverty Line, combining fixed and relative elements of poverty. We updated the numbers: Around a quarter or the world (or 2 billion people) are poor by this measure. @marta_schoch @DMJ2020 @worldbankdata blogs.worldbank.org/opendata/quart…
