UN Goal #1: No Poverty
Economic growth must be inclusive to provide sustainable jobs and promote equality.
More than 700 million people, or 10 per cent of the world population, still live in extreme poverty today, struggling to fulfil the most basic needs like health, education, and access to water and sanitation, to name a few. The majority of people living on less than $1.90 a day live in sub-Saharan Africa. Worldwide, the poverty rate in rural areas is 17.2 per cent—more than three times higher than in urban areas…
Primary Goal: By 2030, eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere, currently measured as people living on less than $1.25 a day.
