Today @OurWorldInData released a new page on the topic of poverty.

Global poverty is a pressing problem: The poorest in the world are often undernourished, without access to electricity, safe drinking water and education, and suffer from poor health.

- new research and data
- an exploratory data analysis tool
- expert curated insights that highlight the most important top-level findings
