Rankings

Definition

Share of the population living below the national poverty line that each country sets. World Bank Poverty and Inequality Platform, compiled from official government sources or computed by World Bank staff with the national line.

Each country sets its own line, so rates cannot be compared between countries; compare years within one country, and check for method changes, which can move the rate by many points. There is no World value. For the United States see poverty_rate, and for the EU at_risk_of_poverty_rate.
