    1970s: • Number in Poverty: Estimates suggest that in 1970, approximately 1.4 billion people lived in extreme poverty, defined as living on less than $1.90 per day (adjusted for inflation and purchasing power parity).  • Poverty Rate: This represented about 37% of the global population at that time. 

    2020s: • Number in Poverty: As of 2020, the global extreme poverty rate was approximately 9.7%, with about 700 million people living on less than $2.15 per day.  • Poverty Rate: This indicates a significant decline from the 1970s, though progress has slowed in recent years due to various global challenges.
