He's wrong. There's less extreme poverty than ever before.
The percentage of people living in extreme poverty globally fell to a new low of 10 percent in 2015 — the latest number available — down from 11 percent in 2013, reflecting steady but slowing progress, World Bank data show. The number of people living on less than $1.90 a day fell during this period by 68 million to 736 million.
That is my analysis only and not what was discussed in the video. Please watch the video for further information. The main subject of the posted video is about when will poverty ends? It is not only declining but when will it end. :)
