As of 2022, the World Bank defines extreme poverty as living on less than $2.15 a day, and astonishingly, this threshold affects about 700 million people globally, a number that's dropped by over a billion since 1990 due to targeted development efforts. This fact reveals how the concept of 'poor' isn't static but shifts with economic progress and policy changes.
