But six years away from this target, extreme poverty is still very present in some parts of the world. The latest data from the World Bank shows that in 1990, 55% of the population in Sub-Saharan Africa and 65% in East Asia and the Pacific lived in these conditions — broadly similar figures. But in 2022, the figures were 37% in Sub-Saharan Africa and 1% in East Asia and the Pacific. The World Bank defines “extreme poverty” as living with less than $2.15 a day. This figure represents what $2.15 could buy you in the United States in 2017 prices; it is adjusted for inflation and cost of living differences between countries.
