Indicele global al sărăciei a crescut pentru prima dată de la crearea sa. 1,2 miliarde de oameni, afectați

The 2026 UN report reveals a significant rise in multidimensional poverty, with 51.5 million more people affected, totaling 1.2 billion. This marks the first increase since 2010, highlighting alarming global poverty trends. The report emphasizes that over half of those affected are children and points to population growth as a contributing factor. Despite the overall increase, 33 countries have halved their poverty rates in the last 15 years, particularly in Asia. Rural areas are disproportionately affected, with 83.3% of the world's poor living in these regions. The report calls for collective action to address these challenges effectively.
