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 distributionAggregate Factor Income DistributionimfDemographic Economics: GeneralimfDemographyimfEconomic Development: Human ResourcesimfHuman DevelopmentimfIncome DistributionimfIncome distributionimfIncome inequalityimfIncomeimfMacroeconomicsimfMigrationimfNational accountsimfPersonal incomeimfPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their DistributionsimfPopulation & demographyimfPopulation and demographicsimfPopulationimfPoverty & precarityimfPoverty and HomelessnessimfPovertyimfWelfare, Well-Being, and Poverty: GeneralimfUnited StatesimfPoverty.Income distribution.Aggregate Factor Income DistributionDemographic Economics: GeneralDemographyEconomic Development: Human ResourcesHuman DevelopmentIncome DistributionIncome distributionIncome inequalityIncomeMacroeconomicsMigrationNational accountsPersonal incomePersonal Income, Wealth, and Their DistributionsPopulation & demographyPopulation and demographicsPopulationPoverty & precarityPoverty and HomelessnessPovertyWelfare, Well-Being, and Poverty: GeneralNielsen Lynge1816091DcWaIMFBOOK9910965596903321Global Relative Poverty4371740UNINA
