Al ritmo actual, llevará al menos treinta años alcanzar esta meta y más de un siglo para que todo el mundo esté por encima de la línea de pobreza de 6,85 dólares por día utilizada para los países de ingresos medio-altos.

At the current pace, it will take at least three decades to reach this target, and more than a century to lift everyone above the poverty line of $6.85 per day used for upper-middle-income countries. Today, 44 per cent of the global population falls below this threshold.
