The World Bank raises the international poverty line as of June 2025, following an adjustment based on the 2021 purchasing power parity (PPP), which increases the threshold to US$3.00 per capita per day. Previously, under the 2017 PPP, the poverty line for low-income countries is set at US$2.15 per capita per day. (Photo by Afriadi Hikmal/NurPhoto)
