Key Insights
The report assesses the progress made since the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and outlines the challenges that remain as the world transitions to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It notes that while approximately 1 billion people have escaped extreme poverty, around 700 million still live on less than $1.90 a day, with poverty increasingly concentrated in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The report emphasizes the importance of addressing not only income poverty but also non-income dimensions such as access to education and healthcare. It identifies three key challenges: the depth of remaining poverty, the unevenness of shared prosperity, and persistent disparities in non-income development dimensions. The report calls for policies that promote broad-based economic growth, invest in human development, and provide social protection to the vulnerable. It highlights the need for integrated approaches to tackle the interconnected challenges of poverty, inequality, and environmental sustainability, particularly in light of demographic changes that could impact future growth prospects.
