I think the impoverishment varies. We have much better computation, telephony, medicine and many other corners of society. The poverty appears when you measure things that must be shared, like living spaces in a major city. Apartments in NYC are dramatically more expensive. In general, the population growth means that we have to share more and that often looks like poverty. What? A four bedroom home can't be purchased by a teacher on a single salary the way it used to be? That's because so many more people are around.
