#3 China's Poverty

China's Poverty

 

Over the years, China has been the majority of the World's poverty population. Over 600 million people just in China grew out of poverty. Their poverty rate fell from 85% 15% over the course of 33 years. Without China poverty would have only falledn 10%. They can take the credit for nearly all of the world's reduction in poverty.

 

 

Without China, the overall world's poverty rate would be much higher. China has helped stimulate the economy (and make it a stronger one) with this huge drop in poverty percentages.
