Depends on definiton of poverty. In many places, it has moved from living in objectively deprived conditions, to just being in the bottom centiles of population

  > Depends on definiton of poverty. People dying of hunger, people not having clean water, people dying because the $5 antibiotic shot isn't available in their country, &c. I don't care about relative poverty here, aka poverty threshold, which is by definition a moving threshold. For exemple in France the poverty threshold is defined as 60% of the median income, it doesn't tell you much about the "real" poverty
