- thefz 4y agoAverage,yes. But just because the top has become wealthier.
- BurningFrog 4y agoNot at all. There has been enormous improvements for the poorest. Tons of data here. Look for yourself: https://ourworldindata.org/extreme-poverty-in-brief https://ourworldindata.org/extreme-poverty-in-brief
- jemmyw 4y agoWe don't know if it would have improved more or less if the population stayed at 4 billion, so there's no argument there either way.
