Or the third world. There has been a lot of economic growth since the 90s, in particular in China. China's economy grew a lot in the 90s but was still pretty poor by end of decade. China now has economy that is close to low developed levels.
Another good example is extreme poverty. Which dropped from 1.8 billion to 1.6 billion in 90s and to 710 million by 2021. A billion people not having the immediate experience of hunger is a big win.
