How to fight global poverty
Have you heard the news? The number of people living in extreme poverty, defined as living on less than $ 1.25 a day was halved. How did this happen? Professor Stephen Davies explains that the decline in extreme poverty occurred in part because population density they are two of the most populated countries in the world, China and India, went on the path of economic liberalization and development in the last two or three decades. When several countries population density have adopted free market and market-friendly policies, we have seen encouraging news of reducing poverty and increasing access to clean drinking water. If such policies will continue, says prof. Davies will not be impossible in the near future eradicate poverty. All this can be easy to lose if you decide to poor economic decisions that will lead us back to protectionism and economic control. With sound economic policies and free markets, we can help many of the poorest people in the world.
3) The statement "In India, in 1990, 51 percent of the population lived in absolute poverty. By 2015, the proportion fell to 22 per cent. " http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-07-08/developmental-issues/29751472_1_extreme-poverty-india-and-china-report
4) A statement of the percentage of those who spend less than $ 1 per day stood at 65% in 1981 and 10% in 2004. It is also stated that it is estimated population density that it will be in China dropped from 65 to 4% (side 3 and 4). http://www-wds.worldbank.org/external/default/WDSContentServer/WDSP/IB/2009/04/08/000334955_20090408062432/Rendered/PDF/473490SR0CN0P010Disclosed0041061091.pdf
They say that good news does not sell; perhaps this is the reason that we devote attention to this which I think is the most important news in the last 20 years. This is to reduce the proportion of the world population living in absolute poverty by half.
In 1990, the United Nations has set a very ambitious Millennium Development Goals. The largest of them was to reduce the proportion of the world population living in extreme population density poverty, which was defined as living on less than $ 1.25 a day by half by 2015. This goal was actually met. Not only that, but this was met five years ago, in 2010. In addition, he was met another very ambitious goal, it is necessary to halve the number of people without access to clean drinking water, population density this is also met again five years before.
Well, the reason is the direct result of changes in the two largest population density and most populated countries in the world, India and China. In India, in 1990, 51 percent of the population lived in absolute poverty. By 2015, the proportion fell to 22 per cent. The figures for China are even more dramatic. In 1981, 65 percent of China's population lived in absolute poverty. In 2007, this proportion dropped to only 4 percent.
The reason is very clear. This is because - starting in 1980 in China, then in early 1990 in India, since 2000 also in many other parts of the world - was a significant step in the direction of the free market and market-friendly policies.
The countries included in the global economy. Opened up and move in the direction of the free market. Eliminate government oversight of entrepreneurs, trade and commerce. They have moved in the direction of free markets and private property and away from state planning and economic control.
And the result is that the enormous economic revolution, a large reduction in the number of people living in absolute extreme poverty around the world. We still have many challenges ahead of us. Although we have reduced the number of people living on less than $ 1.25 a day, these are still too many. The number of people living with 2 to 4 dollars per day is declining, but not as fast as in the case of those who live on $ 1.25 a day or less. So these are the challenges before us: to eliminate the kind of poverty.
However, the good news is that we know what to do. We know what policies we need to follow to achieve this. We must adhere to these guidelines last 20 years, the free market economy and to allow the release of the markets do their work. What we must avoid at all costs is that the government move us back towards protectionism and economic control. If we avoid this and stick to what we've been doing this, we can confidently gazed into the future, population density which was prior to 20 years ago the unthinkable: the actual elimination of extreme poverty population density in the world.
