For the period 2031-2050, the data is projected using the average annual historical GDP per capita growth over 2014-2023."] We obtained regional estimates of the number in poverty by summing the number of people in poverty in each region. For global estimates, we proceeded in a similar way, but summing the regional data. To calculate the share in poverty, we divided these results by the total population in each region or globally, and multiplied by 100 to get a percentage.     float []     16709474451253842863 -852290215734994447
