- The Asia-Pacific Human Development Report was just released by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).
- This research claims that India is now among the high-income nations.
However, there has also been a significant rise in wealth and income disparity. - The report states that India’s per capita income climbed from $442 to $2389 between 2000 and 2022.
- In the same period, poverty decreased from 40% to 10% between 2004 and 2019.
- Only 23% of women participate in the workforce, according to the survey.
- Over half of the nation’s wealth is held by the richest 10% of the population.
- On the other hand, 18.50 crore individuals, or 180 rupees, are compelled to live in poverty since their income is less than $2.15.
