Peste 1,2 miliarde de oameni, afectați de sărăcie. Indicele global a crescut pentru prima dată în ultimii 16 ani

The UN's annual report reveals a rise in global poverty for the first time in 16 years, with 51.5 million more people affected. The multidimensional poverty index has surpassed 1.2 billion individuals, highlighting alarming trends, especially among children. While the overall number has increased, some countries have made significant progress in reducing poverty. Rural areas are disproportionately affected, with the majority of the poorest living in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The report emphasizes the need for collaborative efforts to tackle these challenges effectively.
