Poverty reduction and aquatic resources
2004
Haylor, G.
The Millennium Development Goals call for a reduction in the proportion of people living on less than $1 a day to half the 1990 level by 2015. This means reducing from28.3 percent of all people in low and middle income economies to 14.2 percent. The Goals also call for halving the proportion of people who suffer from hunger between1990 and 2015. If projected growth remains on track, global poverty rates will fall to 13 percent – lessthan half the 1990 level – and 360 million more people will avert extreme poverty. So while poverty would not be eradicated, that would bring us much closer to the day whenwe can say that all the world's people have at least the bare minimum to eat and clothe themselves.
