In 2013, the World Bank Group adopted two new goals to guide its
work: ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity. More
specifically, the goals are to reduce extreme poverty in the world
to less than 3 percent by 2030, and to foster income growth of the
bottom 40 percent of the population in each country. While poverty
reduction has been a mainstay of the World Bank s mission for
decades, the Bank has now set a specific goal and timetable, and
for the first time, the Bank has explicitly included a goal linked
to ensuring that growth is shared by all. The discussion until now
has centered primarily on articulating the new goals. This report,
the latest in World Bank s Policy Research Report series, goes
beyond that and lays out their conceptual underpinnings, discusses
their relative strengths and weaknesses by contrasting them with
alternative indicators, and proposes empirical approaches and
requirements to track progress towards the goals. The report makes
clear that the challenges posed by the World Bank Group s new
stance extend not just to the pursuit of these goals but, indeed,
to their very definition and empirical content. The report also
argues that an improved data infrastructure, consisting of many
elements including the collection of more and better survey data,
is critical to ensure that progress towards these goals can be
measured, and policies to help achieve them can be identified and
prioritized."
