Measuring China's role in validated extreme poverty decline
Between 1990 and 2015, the world saw a remarkable decline in extreme poverty, with China contributing nearly three-quarters of that progress. This raises a critical question: was the global decline only due to China? Our analysis shows that even without China, the rest of the world still achieved measurable, though slower, poverty reduction. Understanding this distinction is essential for calibrating effective policy. For deeper context, see our related story on China's income data showing near-threshold high-income status.
