Population living in extreme poverty in Africa 2010-2030
In 2019, the number of people living in extreme poverty in Africa was projected at 422 million. Compared to the rest of the world, the amount was considerably higher. Although the levels of poverty on the African continent were expected to decrease in the following years, the gap between Africa and the rest of the world would become increasingly wider. By 2030, extremely poor people on the continent would reach 374 million, compared to 55 million in the other regions of the world.
