Poverty in Bangladesh
As in many developing countries, poverty in Bangladesh has been an alarming social issue for a significant amount of time.

The remarkable progress in poverty alleviation has been recognized by international institutions. According to World Bank, more than 33 million Bangladeshi people have been lifted out of poverty since 2000; as measured by the percentage of people living on the equivalent of US$1.90 or less per day in 2011 purchasing price parity terms.
