 SDGs .:. 17 Goals to Transform Our World

Goal 1: No Poverty

End poverty in all its forms everywhere

  Data provided by Poverty - United Nations Sustainable Development (more)   Extreme poverty rates have been cut by more than half since 1990. While this is a remarkable achievement, one in five people in developing regions still live on less than $1.25 a day, and there are millions more who make little more than this daily amount, plus many people risk slipping back into poverty.   Poverty is more than the lack of income and resources to ensure a sustainable livelihood. Its manifestations include hunger and malnutrition, limited access to education and other basic services, social discrimination and exclusion as well as the lack of participation in decision-making. Economic growth must be inclusive to provide sustainable jobs and promote equality.   Facts and Figures:

• 836 million people still live in extreme poverty

• About one in five persons in developing regions lives on less than $1.25 per day

• The overwhelming majority of people living on less than $1.25 a day belong to two regions: Southern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa

• High poverty rates are often found in small, fragile and conflict-affected countries

• One in four children under age five in the world has inadequate height for his or her age
