Measuring Poverty
Reduce by half the proportion of people living on less than a dollar a day Reduce by half the proportion of people who suffer from hunger.
- One third of deaths - some 18 million people a year or 50,000 per day - are due to poverty-related causes. That's 270 million people since 1990, the majority women and children, roughly equal to the population of the US.
Over 1 billion people live on less than $1 a day with nearly half the world's population (2.8 billion) living on less than $2 a day. (UN HDR, 2003)
