Experts claim that during the past ten years, the number of people below the poverty line in India has gone down from 39 percent to 26 percent and that Asia as a whole has seen a similar improvement.
Eksperdid väidavad, et viimase kümne aasta jooksul on Indias allpool vaesuspiiri elavate inimeste arv langenud 39 protsendilt 26 protsendile ning et sarnane protsess on toimunud kogu Aasias.
