of population living in households with an income or consumption below 40% of the median.","descriptionFromProducer":"% of population living in households with consumption or income per person below

As a result of revisions in PPP exchange rates, poverty rates for individual countries cannot be compared with poverty rates reported in earlier editions.","descriptionProcessing":"Measures of relative poverty are not directly available in the World Bank PIP data. To calculate this metric we take the median income or consumption for the country and year, calculate a relative poverty line – in this case 40% of the median – and then run a specific query on the PIP API to return the share of population below that line.For most countries in the PIP dataset, estimates relate to _either_ disposable income or consumption, for all available years. A number of countries, however, have a mix of income and consumption data points, with both data types sometimes available for particular years.\n\nIn most of our charts, we present the data with some data points dropped in order to present single series for each country. This allows us to make readable visualizations that combine multiple countries and metrics. In choosing which data points to drop, we try to strike a balance between maintaining comparability over time and showing as long a time series as possible. As such, the exact approach varies somewhat across countries.\n\nIf you would like to see the original data with _all_ available income and consumption data points shown separately, you can do so in our [Poverty Data Explorer](https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/poverty-explorer?Indicator=Share+in+poverty&Poverty+line=%2410+per+day&Household+survey+data+type=Show+data+from+both+income+and+consumption+surveys&Show+breaks+between+less+comparable+surveys=true&country=ROU~CHN~BLR~PER).","type":"float","grapherConfigIdETL":"01988ad1-ac18-71ab-b191-2575e7448c31","dataChecksum":"6138341323625119156","metadataChecksum":"4931875656854481056","datasetName":"World Bank Poverty and Inequality Platform (PIP)","updatePeriodDays":180,"datasetVersion":"2025-08-07","nonRedistributable":false,"display":{"name":"Share of population in poverty (40% of the median)","unit":"%","shortUnit":"%","tolerance":5,"numDecimalPlaces":1,"entityAnnotationsMap":"Other high income countries (PIP): e.g. US, Western Europe, Australia, Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia"},"schemaVersion":2,"processingLevel":"major","presentation":{"titlePublic":"","attributionShort":"World Bank","topicTagsLinks":["Poverty"],"faqs":[{"gdocId":"1gGburArxglFdHXeTLotFW4TOOLoeRq5XW6UfAdKtaAw","fragmentId":"poverty-international-dollars"},{"gdocId":"1gGburArxglFdHXeTLotFW4TOOLoeRq5XW6UfAdKtaAw","fragmentId":"poverty-comparability"},{"gdocId":"1gGburArxglFdHXeTLotFW4TOOLoeRq5XW6UfAdKtaAw","fragmentId":"poverty-regional-estimates"}]},"descriptionKey":["This is a measure of _relative_ poverty – it captures the share of people whose income is low by the standards typical in their own country.","The data is measured in international-$ at 2021 prices – this adjusts for inflation and for differences in living costs between countries.","Depending on the country and year, the data relates to income (measured after taxes and benefits) or to consumption, per capita. _Per capita_ means that the income of each household is attributed equally to each member of the household (including children).","Non-market sources of income, including food grown by subsistence farmers for their own consumption, are taken into account.","Regional and global estimates are extrapolated up until the year of the data release using GDP growth estimates and forecasts.
