Abstract

En 中文
This paper argues that the distribution of global poverty has changed and that most of the world's poor no longer live in countries officially classified as low-income countries (LICs). It is estimated that the majority of the world's poor, or up to a billion people, live in middle-income countries (MICs). This pattern is largely as a result of the recent graduation into the MIC category of a number of populous countries. The paper discusses the trends in the distribution of global poverty, and opens a wider discussion on the potential implications for aid and development cooperation. (c) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
