The number of those in absolute poverty in the world remains virtually unchanged from what it was decades ago. Some countries have achieved successful development over a short period of time, but they are far too few in number. Meanwhile, the richer countries have continued to make steady progress, contributing to an ever-widening gap between these precincts of prosperity and the rest of the world. The poorest countries and the poorest peoples appear stuck in what might be termed a “poverty trap”.
