Abstract

Following strong economic growth in Asia, most of the world's extreme poor - an estimated 735 million - now live in middle-income countries (Yemtsov et al. 2018). In the process of economic and demographic growth and rapid urbanisation, until the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic we saw declining poverty - in both relative and absolute numbers - accompanying increasing social and regional inequality and persistent nutritional insecurity (FAO, IFAD and WFP 2015).
