Aspirations for Inclusive Human Development

China’s epoch-changing success in complete eradication of extreme poverty by the end of 2020 has many lessons for other developing countries, including India, that still have a large burden of poverty. India and China, as the only two nations with populations over one billion, should expand all-round cooperation based on mutual learning.

Want to end poverty? Reduce Inequality!

The World Bank have published revised poverty numbers, and the findings are pretty dramatic. They now think that there are 125 million more people living in extreme poverty in 2022 than they did previously- that extreme poverty is 10.5% of the world’s population, as opposed to their previous estimate of 9%. That is the equivalent to the entire population of Japan.
