CenterIndia’s historic feat: Lifting nearly half a billion people out of poverty in 12 years
What's behind this
India has reduced extreme poverty, with a World Bank assessment indicating that nearly 496 million people have moved above the poverty threshold in the past 12 years, a change described as a historic socioeconomic transformation. Yet the country’s high prosperity gap means millions remain far from a comfortable standard of living, and factors such as informal work, stagnant wages and limited employment opportunities continue to constrain upward mobility.
