This paper assesses poverty trends by using human development outcomes rather than income measures alone. It shows that the 1990s was a decade of prosperity and progress for the world but also of development disaster for many of the world’s poorest countries where key indicators of human development not only failed to progress but began to register reversals. The authors identify the poorest performing countries and examine the characteristics and constraints that merit attention in the fight against global poverty.
