This data comes from household surveys in which people are asked about their income or what they spend. The World Bank has more than 2,500 of these datasets from 172 economies. About one in ten people worldwide live on less than $3 a day. It’s a very low line, which is why the chart shown here also splits each world region into people living on $3 to $10, $10 to $30, and more than $30 a day. In sub-Saharan Africa, the World Bank estimates that 43% of people are in extreme poverty this year. In South Asia, fewer than 2% are, but more than 80% live on $3 to $10 a day. Around 80% of the world lives on less than $30 a day, roughly the poverty line in high-income countries. We recently updated our charts with the latest PIP release, which adds four new surveys for India, Uganda, Moldova, and Switzerland. The update covers dozens of our charts, as well as two data explorers. (This data update was led by @parriagadap.)
