Why I want to stop talking about the “developing” world | Bill Gates

I recently read #Hans_Rosling ’s new book Factfulness: Ten Reasons We’re Wrong About the World—and Why Things Are Better Than You Think. In it, he offers a new framework for how to think about the world. Hans proposes four income groups (with the largest number of people living on level 2):
Level 1: 1bn people, spend < 2$/day
Level 2: 3bn people < 8$/day
Level 3: 2bn people < 32$/day
Level 4: 1bn people > 32$/day

Howard Payne, a head at an inner city school in Portsmouth, said there had been a four-fold increase in the number of children with child protection issues.

“Every one of these issues has had something to do with the poverty that they live in,” he said.

“It’s neglect. It’s because they and their families don’t have enough money to provide food, heating or even bedding.”

Mr Payne, who provides debt counselling and family support at his school, said: "Three weeks ago, many schools in our area closed because of the snow.

“I kept ours open because I was really worried about the children - that they wouldn’t have a hot meal to eat that day.”

He said about 45% of pupils came into the school to eat that day.

19 septembre 2013 – Le Secrétaire général Ban Ki-moon a appelé la communauté internationale à respecter ses engagements de lutte contre la pauvreté, à l’occasion du lancement d’un nouveau rapport sur l’état d’avancement des Objectifs du Millénaire pour le développement (OMD) qui fait état d’avancées considérables, en dépit d’une crise économique mondiale persistante.

« De nouveaux pays et autres partenaires montrent actuellement l’exemple, mais tous doivent respecter leurs engagements, concernant l’aide publique au développement (APD), le financement des initiatives climatiques et la mobilisation de ressources nationales », a déclaré M. Ban lors d’une conférence de presse à New York pour présenter le rapport.

The UNDP’s favoured measure of progress throws up some intriguing comparisons

GROSS domestic product, Robert F. Kennedy said, “measures everything…except that which makes life worthwhile.” In an attempt to redress the fixation with economic output alone, in 1990 the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) launched the Human Development Index (HDI). This index combines life expectancy at birth, the average and expected number of years in education and economic output. Only two countries, Zimbabwe and Lesotho, have seen their index scores fall since 1990, but elsewhere big strides have been made, particularly in China, Iran and India. As a result of these changes, the UNDP expects the world’s middle-class population—defined as households with incomes over $20,000 a year—to grow from 1.85 billion in 2009 to 3.25 billion in 2020. It predicts that by 2030, 80% of middle-class households will live in emerging and developing countries, accounting for 70% of global spending.
