Figure 2.12 Consumption poverty in absolute numbers, 1981–2011

04/02/2015

The World Bank estimates and publishes international estimation of consumption poverty34. Data indicate that during the period 1981-2011, 753 million people in China were lifted from poverty as defined by the US$1.25 standard, exceeding the total number of people lifted from poverty in the rest of the developing world during the same period. The progress of poverty reduction in China has been similarly dramatic when measured by the US$2 standard. However, to gain a complete assessment, these poverty measures must be complemented by non-economic dimensions, including access to health care and education.
