The world has never been a better place. Don’t believe us? Look at this chart

There is no bad news, how is the good news? In fact, some very good news

As the world continues its efforts to cope with the reality of war, refugee crisis, and global warming, the number of people living in extreme poverty around the world is decreasing. A lot

This graph shows that, as early as 1820, the majority of the world's population is in extreme poverty. Until the first half of the 20th century, the situation did not change.

Following the rapid increase in world population after the Second World War extremely poor people began to grow rapidly.

However, there were some fundamental changes around 1970. As the population continues to increase, the number of people living in extreme poverty has begun to decline and has since declined. About this time around 2010, this figure fell below the 1 billion for the first time.

Extreme poverty is consumption (or income) living in less than 90 international dollars per day. International dollars are adjusted according to price differences and price fluctuations by country.

Progress has been made over the past 200 years as economic growth brings higher revenues to more and more people in the world.

Along with industrialization and commencement of productivity, the proportion of people in poverty is decreasing. And as the economy grows to bring more wealth, this proportion will continue to decline.

The second graph shows where the poorest people in the world live. Even though Asia is not late, most people live in Africa

It is worrisome to see the number of people in extreme poverty still in these areas, but the good news is that the economy is growing rapidly in both regions.

Young people in Africa have more and more labor - this is a valuable asset in the world of aging. By 2034, Africa's working population is estimated to be one billion people in the world.

Africa is still urbanized and future economic interests are great. According to data from the United Nations, city productivity is three times that of rural areas, and 187 million Africans will live in cities over the next 10 years. This urban expansion helps households and companies grow rapidly

At the same time, India's most extreme poor countries are also rapidly growing.

The International Monetary Fund predicts that India's economic growth rate will reach 6% in 2016 and 2017, but in the Global Competitiveness Report of the 2016-2017 World Economic Forum India is ranked as the most comprehensive country It is.

As a result, the number of people living in extreme poverty worldwide not only recorded the past lowest, but the economic situation of those struggling still seems very positive in fact.

There are still many things to do in Africa and Asia but we are showing signs of rapid progress to get people out of extreme poverty.

Now is the really good time to discuss this topic. The world is at the forefront of the global economic slowdown. If you do not believe it, check this chart. Historically, the United States was the world leader and the driving force for growth. Recent growth is not capital investment but financial engineering. Therefore, if you want companies to spend these cash on people, assets, facilities, you need to motivate them like Wall Street.

There are simple and powerful countermeasures for people who believe the world was once a better place, especially those who believe that globalization has done more harm than harming the economy. According to the World Bank, in 1981, about 42% of the world's population was very poor. As today's many wealthy nations define poverty among their own citizens, they are not only poorer than their mostly compatriots, they are absolutely poor. At most, they have little necessities such as money and clothes to eat. The worst part is that they are hungry.

As you can see in books, poor people often do not have the opportunity to receive good education. These are Indians in the novel, but in real life, these people also come from Africa, India, Russia and other countries. Some of them do not even have the opportunity to attend school. For example, many children in developing countries like Africa. This is a big problem in the world, and this book shows this to us. There are also many people who do not have the opportunity to switch to other better schools like Junior. So they must come with the school they own.
