    "\nThe \u2018cost of basic needs\u2019 approach was recommended by the World Bank Commission on Global Poverty, headed by Tony Atkinson, as a complementary method in measuring poverty.\n",
    "\nMoatsos describes the methodology as follows: \u201cIn this approach, poverty lines are calculated for every year and country separately, rather than using a single global line. The second step is to gather the necessary data to operationalize this approach alongside imputation methods in cases where not all the necessary data are available. The third step is to devise a method for aggregating countries\u2019 poverty estimates on a global scale to account for countries that lack some of the relevant data.\u201d\n"
]
 From the share and number unable to meet basic needs available in the dataset, we can estimate the number below different "dollar a day" poverty lines. Additionally, we estimate the share and number above these poverty lines, as well between them. We also estimate the share and number of people able to meet basic needs. Rolling averages by decade have been calculated for the original estimates before 1981, to address uncertainty in the data.       float
