摘要

Introduction Ending poverty in all its forms everywhere is the first Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of the United Nations (2021a). Progress towards this goal has varied but also been fruitful. Between 1990 and 2015, over a billion people were lifted out of extreme poverty (World Bank 2018). From 36％ of the population under extreme poverty in 1990 to 10％ in 2015 (United Nations 2021b). The world achieved the first Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target of reducing the poverty rate from 1990 by half in 2010, five years ahead of the year 2015 (United Nations 2020). The poverty rate fell to approximately 9％ in 2018 (World Bank 2020b). These efforts reaffirm the commitment of the vital international body and the nations within it to prioritize resources for poverty alleviation.
