Poverty Rate

Share of the population below a defined income threshold, reported nationally and against the World Bank line.

Specifications & Metrics

The World Bank's extreme-poverty line is 3.00 dollars a day at 2021 purchasing power parity, set in June 2025.
It replaced the 2.15-dollar line at 2017 PPP, which had replaced the 1.90-dollar line at 2011 PPP.
Household surveys rather than tax records are the primary source, so measurement lags the economy by a year or more.
