Global monitoring report 2010: the MDGs after the crisis

What is the human cost of the global economic crisis? This year’s Global Monitoring Report: The MDGs after the Crisis, examines the impact of the worst recession since the Great Depression on poverty and human development outcomes indeveloping countries. Although the recovery is under way, the impact of the crisis will be lasting and immeasurable. The impressive precrisis progress in poverty reduction will slow, particularly in low-income countries in Africa. Nohousehold in developing countries is immune. Gaps will persist to 2020. In 2015, 20 million more people in Sub-Saharan Africa will be in extreme poverty and 53 million more people globally. Even households above the $1.25-a-day poverty line in higher-income developing countries are coping by buying cheaper food, delaying other purchases, reducing visits to doctors, working longer hours,or taking multiple jobs.
