How we did this The drop-off in the global middle class was centered in South Asia and in East Asia and the Pacific, and it stalled the expansion seen in the years preceding the pandemic.

In January 2021, with the pandemic still holding much of the world in its grip, the World Bank estimated that the global economy As defined in this report (and in previous Pew Research Center analyses), people who are contracted by 4.3% in 2020, a turnabout of 6.8 percentage points. middle income live on $10.01-$20 a day, which translates to an annual income of about $14,600 to $29,200 for a family of four.

At the consumption, a simple way of controlling for differences in household size. In the source data, some same time, the path to a recovery is clouded with uncertainties. countries only report income data while others only report consumption data. The terms "income" and "consumption" are used interchangeably for the sake of convenience. A new Pew Research Center analysis finds that the global middle class encompassed 54 million fewer people in 2020 than the number projected prior to the onset of the A middle-income, or middle-class, threshold of $10 follows the practice of other researchers. A similar threshold has been used by the World Bank (2007, 2015), researchers at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (Kharas, 2010), the development community (Birdsall, Lustigand Meyer, 2013) and others. There is evidence that the $10 threshold, which is about five times impact in plainer sight. The difference between these two measures is taken to represent higher than the World Bank's global poverty line, is associated with economic security and "insulates" the impact of the COVID-19 downturn on the standard of living of people globally. people from falling back into poverty. An earlier Pew Research Center report discusses the choice of income thresholds in greater detail.

Thus, many who are poor by the U.S. definition would meet the global middle-income standard to have been 17.1% in 2020, instead of potentially 17.8%. The erosion in the middle class or, conversely, many who are in the global middle class would be poor by U.S. standards might have been deeper if not for the fact that China - which is home to more than one- third of the global middle class - evaded an economic contraction, even though growth Globally, most are either poor or low there was slower than anticipated. income, and the pandemic likely drove the numbers higher in 2020 The number of global poor is estimated to have risen to 803 million in 2020, much greater Estimated number of people in each income tier in 2020, than the 672 million initially expected.
