Abstract

United Nations' global development plan includes as one of its primary goals the elimination of extreme poverty, with the decrease of poverty a key indication of progress. Concerns about the accuracy of current worldwide estimations have lately been raised on a global scale: In light of the wide range of possible outcomes, the World Bank Commission on Global Poverty's advisory board member has major doubts about the value of global poverty estimates in their present form. “Despite our best attempts to disclose in clearly the extremely large uncertainty involved in each of the different phases leading up to the final statistics, World Bank economists have frequently been unhappy about the deceptive accuracy with which our poverty estimates emerge in public discourse.
