Goal 1: No Poverty
This goal aims to end poverty in all of its forms and everywhere. Despite international efforts in an attempt to reduce poverty, the change is too slow with disparities across countries. The International Wealth Index (IWI) is a reliable metric for comparing the performance of societies with regard to wealth, inequality and poverty. Ranging from 0 to 100 with highest scores for regions with better living conditions. Log Gross National Income (GNI) per capita further portrays uneven economic development between countries. Together, these indicators show the complex nature of poverty and the ongoing difficulties in achieving equality in living conditions across the globe.
