Poverty & Equity Data | Bangladesh | The World Bank
outdated figures.
Your source doesn't say that.
Basically Bangladesh just changed its goal. And judging by the low numbers I suspect that they are talking about the national poverty threshold.
The second time he mentions the "26%" he's talking about how much it declined from 2000 to 2010. Not the absolute percentage.
The poverty threshold is mentioned in the source as population living on less than $2 per day and 26% of Bangladeshis living below the poverty line means 26% is living on less than $2 per day.
Do you even read the links you quote?
Yes I read it.
Correct. 68.8% to be more accurate.
The source which I mentioned says 70% of Indians are living on less than $2 per day, they might be using approximate figure for 68.8%, thanks for correcting me.
