Does not make sense. As someone who grew up in poverty in India which is also home to 17% of world population the poverty has reduced substantially over last 20 years post economic reforms. There is no possible way I could think of how poverty could have increased. If we just look at China an India which is home to 33% of world population extreme poverty is down by 50% in whatever way you measure it.
