  This is interesting, from here: http://www.globalissues.org/arti…

  "Accounting for the increased population between 1981 and 2005, the poverty rate has, however, fallen by about 25%.

  While this at least sounds encouraging, it masks regional variations, and perhaps most glaringly the impact of China:

  Between 1981 and 2005:
  - China’s poverty rate fell from 85% to 15.9%, or by over 600 million people
  - China accounts for nearly all the world’s reduction in poverty
  - Excluding China, poverty fell only by around 10%"
