The share of the population living on less than $2.15 a day at PPP.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country — the year is shown in the row. The table spans 1992 to 2025.
Top-20 · % of population
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.

The share of the population whose consumption or income falls below the international extreme poverty line — $2.15 a day in 2017 prices at purchasing power parity. This is the very indicator by which the first UN Sustainable Development Goal is tracked. The line is revised as the PPP conversion factors are updated, so historical values are recalculated retrospectively.
Important: The estimates are built on household surveys held once every few years; between surveys the values are interpolated.
The share of people living on less than $3.65 a day — the line for lower-middle-income countries.
Labor 1963–2025 Poverty at $6.85 a dayThe share of people living on less than $6.85 a day — the line for upper-middle-income countries.
Labor 1985–2025 Poverty at the national lineThe share of the poor by the line a country has set for itself.
Labor 1963–2025 Gini indexA measure of income inequality: 0 is complete equality, 100 is maximum inequality.
