Time to step up the effort - not to scale down on development cooperation despite the ongoing turbulence
Today the @WorldBank published its latest Poverty and Shared Prosperity Report. The global goal of ending extreme poverty by 2030 is likely to be missed: by then, about 600 million people will remain in abject poverty. A major course correction is needed. worldbank.org/en/publication…
In the eve of the International Youth Day we are proud to launch our latest Global Employment Trends for Youth 2022 report that discusses how investing in sustainable development can provide millions of additional jobs for youth.
📢Just launched! Recovery in youth employment is still lagging. The total 🌍 number of unemployed youths is estimated to reach 73 million in 2022. 6 million above the pre-pandemic level of 2019. Ahead of #YouthDay, check out our new report 👉🏽 ow.ly/PNcU50KeURt

Poverty is more than income. It's also about access to healthcare, education & standards of living. This #EndPoverty Day, see how we use data insights from our #MultidimensionalPovertyIndex with @ophi_oxford to target inequalities to #BuildForwardBetter: bit.ly/3oFGf3K
