Half of the world's poor will live in Sub-Saharan Africa by 2015, up from 27% in 1999, despite significant inroads made in reducing global poverty, according to a new report. The latest survey compiled by the South African Institute of Race Relations uses World Bank data to show that poverty in SubSaharan Africa will worsen significantly. More than 400-million people are expected to live on less than $1 a day in 2015, up from 315-million in 1999 while global poverty will be reduced by a third.
