Global Relative Poverty Forecast for 2010 -- References.The paper provides estimates of global relative poverty trends from 1970 onwards. Relative poverty is shown to have decreased significantly, but at the same time there has been a worsening poverty outcome among up to one billion of the world's poorest citizens. The paper also proposes a straightforward method for dividing an income distribution into classes of poor, rich, and middle-class.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2009/093PovertyIncome distributionMacroeconomicsimfDemographyimfPoverty and HomelessnessimfEconomic Development: Human ResourcesimfHuman DevelopmentimfIncome DistributionimfMigrationimfPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their DistributionsimfWelfare, Well-Being, and Poverty: GeneralimfAggregate Factor Income DistributionimfDemographic Economics: GeneralimfPoverty & precarityimfPopulation & demographyimfPersonal incomeimfPovertyimfIncome distributionimfIncome inequalityimfPopulation and demographicsimfNational accountsimfIncomeimfPopulationimfUnited StatesimfPoverty.Income distribution.MacroeconomicsDemographyPoverty and HomelessnessEconomic Development: Human ResourcesHuman DevelopmentIncome DistributionMigrationPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their DistributionsWelfare, Well-Being, and Poverty: GeneralAggregate Factor Income DistributionDemographic Economics: GeneralPoverty & precarityPopulation & demographyPersonal incomePovertyIncome distributionIncome inequalityPopulation and demographicsNational accountsIncomePopulationNielsen Lynge1631328DcWaIMFBOOK9910817193803321Global Relative Poverty3970068UNINA
