After years in the political wilderness, the UK Labour Party is now far ahead in opinion polls, with sensible plans for improving the country's economic performance. But to translate promises into results, any future government will have to do something about the elephant in the room: chronic under-investment.

达卡—从 1990 年到 2019 年,生活在极端贫困中的人数(按世界银行每天 1.90 美元的门槛)急剧下降,从 19 亿减少到 6.48 亿。新冠疫情逆转了大部分进展。 到 2021 年底,这场疫情将使大约 1.5亿人重新陷入极端贫困。
但是,即使在新冠疫情发生前,世界也没有走上未来十年结束极端贫困的轨道。 新冠疫情爆发前很久,减贫的进展就一直在放缓,2015 年至 2019 年间,全球贫困率每年下降不到半个百分点。按照这个速度,即使没有疫情,2030 年仍会有 5.37 亿人生活极端贫困,这意味着无法实现联合国可持续发展目标(SDG),尤其是SDG 1。
