In August 2008, the World Bank presented a major overhaul to their estimates of global poverty, incorporating what they described as better and new data. The World Bank’s long-held estimate of the number of people living on the equivalent of $1 a day has now been changed to $1.25 a day. The World Bank also adds that the previous $1 a day estimate for the international poverty line would have been $1.45 a day at 2005 prices if only inflation was accounted for. The revised estimates include a lot more recalculations and the $1 a day measure used in some of the charts below are therefore not to be confused with the old $1 a day measure, and where available, a $1.45 measure is also provided as well as a more current $1 a day measure. (Because some developing countries also have poverty lines at $2 and $2.50 a day, those are also shown, where available.) At a poverty line of $1.25 a day, the revised estimates find 1.4 billion people live at this poverty line or below This is more than the previous estimate of 984 million with the older measure of a $1 a day in 2004 In 1981, the estimated number of poor was also revised upward, from 1.5 billion to 1.9 billion
