- #5 In 2015, 736 million people are living in extreme poverty. The world continues to make steady progress in reducing extreme poverty. Overall, the percentage of the global population living in extreme poverty has dropped from 36 percent in 1990 to 10 percent in 2015. Despite a growing population, there are now more than 1 billion fewer people living in extreme poverty than there were in 1990. But the rate is stubbornly higher in low-income countries and countries affected by conflict and fragility. While the progress is remarkable, there is evidence that the pace of poverty reduction is starting to decelerate, reflecting several factors including declining growth as a result of falling commodity prices and other economic challenges.
