Using the international poverty line of $3.00 per day and the higher $8.30 per day poverty line (both expressed in 2021 purchasing power parity), the paper provides new results of the global and regional trends over 2014\u201324. The estimates show that 19.2 percent of children, approximately 412 million children, were living on less than $3.00 (2021 PPP) per day as of 2024, a reduction from 507 million children in 2014. This long-term decrease was slower than that for the general population. At the higher line of $8.30, the child poverty rate in 2024 was 65.9 percent, representing around 1.4 billion children, a drop from the 73.1 percent registered in 2014. At the regional level, the East Asia and Pacific and South Asia regions witnessed significant reductions in child poverty and extreme child poverty between 2014 and 2024, and the Europe and Central Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean regions showed reductions mostly in child poverty. In the same period, there was an increase in extreme child poverty in the Middle East and North Africa region. Sub-Saharan Africa experienced a \u201clost decade\u201d of child poverty reduction between 2014 and 2024, increasing its concentration of global poverty. In 2024, Sub-Saharan Africa hosted more than three-quarters of children in extreme poor households (more than 311 million children), although its share of the global child population was around 23 percent. Country-level results show evidence of regional heterogeneity in progress against extreme child poverty.","geographic_units":[{"name":"World","code":"WLD"}],"keywords":[{"name":"Monetary Poverty"},{"name":"Children"},{"name":"Headcount Ratio"}],"topics":[{"id":"I32","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php?view=jel","vocabulary":"Journal of Economic Literature (JEL)","name":"Measurement and Analysis of Poverty","parent_id":"I3"}],"output":[{"type":"Working Paper","description":"Policy Research Working Papers (PRWP) 11203","title":"Children In Monetary Poor Households: Global, Regional, And Select National Trends In The Progress Against Child Poverty","uri":"https:\/\/documents.worldbank.org\/pt\/publication\/documents-reports\/documentdetail\/099151009052581696"}],"language":[{"name":"English","code":"EN"}],"disclaimer":"The materials in the reproducibility packages are distributed as they were prepared by the staff of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development\/The World Bank.

Obtain access to the limited-access data. See more details in the `Data` section. \n2. Open the `00-Master` do file, modify the directory paths to match your local setup, and then run the code.\n3. The code populates an Excel file named `figures_prod.xlsx`, which contains the intermediate data and embedded formulas that generate the figures used in the paper.\n\nBecause the intermediate data are also subject to access restrictions, the final Excel file included with the paper (`figures_prod.xlsx`) contains only the formulas, without the underlying data. If a user gains access to the data, they will be able to run the code that generates the data and produce the figures. \nAs the data is limited-access and not available for all users, the reproducibility package also includes a file named `figures_prod_replication.xlsx`, in which the formulas are intentionally broken so users can compare against the manuscript and confirm reproducibility. \nIn addition, log files are available in the `logs` folder, allowing users to verify the successful execution of the run.","technology_requirements":"Runtime: 1 hour.
