>over the past 30 years, poverty has fallen massively This appears to be false[1], at least in the US. Moreover, most statistics positing a reduction in poverty can be misleading because the massive growth in population is ignored by nature of percentages. While there may be more people living above the poverty line than ever before, there are also more people living below it than ever before, about 3,000,000,000 people. There are roughly as many people living in poverty today as the total world population in 1960. [1]http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2015/may/07/jeb... |
