According to 2019 statistics, 85% of the world's population lived on less than 30$ a day, of which 10% were in extreme poverty (less than 1.90$ a day).
The World Bank Group announced in 2020 that 40% of the poor live in conflict-affected countries.
The feminization of poverty is a widespread term in UN documents in the 1990s: women are more affected by poverty than men (75% of women in developing countries work without a contract, legal rights and social protection).
Globally, women earn 24% less than men.
In Romania, in 2021, one in three employees had a monthly income of less than 1,400 lei (2% more women than men) and one in three children was at risk of poverty and social exclusion.
