As of the latest estimates, 689 million people were living in extreme poverty in 2023, defined as under $2.15 per day in 2017 PPP terms. That figure comes with a sharp geographic split, where Sub Saharan Africa and South Asia alone account for the majority, and conflict, floods, and climate shocks keep pushing new households under the line. The dataset also shows how uneven progress can be, with some countries cutting extreme poverty fast while others face dramatic reversals.

Global Prevalence Interpretation

While we’ve heroically dragged over a billion people from the brink since 1990, the fight against extreme poverty has become a frustrating game of whack-a-mole, where two steps of hard-won progress are so often met with one devastating step back from pandemics, conflicts, and a stubbornly concentrated burden in places like Sub-Saharan Africa.
