The world is getting poorer on average over recent decades.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
6 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the world is getting poorer on average over recent decades?

Partly. Evidence is mixed and only partial: World Bank reports say Palestinians and South Africans are getting poorer on average, and one source notes extreme poverty rising in many countries, while Our World in Data reports extreme poverty fell by roughly 43 million people per year over 35 years. No item settles whether the world as a whole is getting poorer on average.
