Target 1.

A:
Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people whose income is less than $1.25 a day

The target of reducing extreme poverty rates by half was met five years ahead of the 2015 deadline.
The global poverty rate at $1.25 a day fell in 2010 to less than half the 1990 rate. 700 million fewer people lived in conditions of
extreme poverty in 2010 than in 1990. However, at the global level 1.2 billion people are still living in extreme poverty.

Target 1.B:
Achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all, including women and young people

Globally, 384 million workers lived below the $1.25 a day poverty line in 2011a reduction of 294 million since 2001.
The gender gap in employment persists, with a 24.8 percentage point difference between men and women in the employmentto-population ratio in 2012.
Target 1.C:
Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people who suffer from hunger

The hunger reduction target should be almost met by 2015.

Globally, about 842 million people are estimated to be undernourished.
More than 99 million children under age five are still undernourished and underweight.

About 842 million people in the world do not eat enough to be healthy. That means that one in every eight people on
Earth goes to bed hungry each night. (Source: FAO, 2013)
The number of people living with chronic hunger has fallen by 17 percent since 199092. If the trend continues, we will
fall just short of the hunger target in the Millennium Development Goals.
In the developing world, one child in four is stunted, meaning that their physical and mental growth is impaired because
of inadequate nutrition. (Source: The Lancet, 2013)
By 2050, climate change and erratic weather patterns could have pushed another 24 million children into hunger.
Almost half of these children would be in sub-Saharan Africa. (Source: IFPRI, 2009)
The vast majority of the world's hungry people live in developing countries, where 13.5 percent of the population is
undernourished.
If women farmers had the same access to resources as men, the number of hungry in the world could be reduced by up
to 150 million.
60 percent of the worlds hungry are women.
Male-dominated social structures in many places limit the resources women have job opportunities, financial
services, education making them more vulnerable to poverty and hunger.
75 percent of the worlds poorest families dont buy their food they grow it.
One-third of the food produced around the world is never consumed.
How does hunger affect their life. Hunger traps people into a life of poverty and, ultimately, more hunger.
Hunger kills more people each year than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.
Around 9 million people die of hunger and hunger-related diseases every year, more than double the lives taken by
AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis in 2012.
Every 10 seconds, a child dies from hunger.
Poor nutrition is responsible for nearly half of all deaths in children under the age of five
3.1 million children die each year because their bodies dont have enough of the basic nutrients they need to function
and grow.
