World Bank President talks about tackling global poverty: China proves that anything is possible. Peng Anjie said that the world is currently facing persistent poverty, protracted conflicts and an intractable climate crisis.
Over the next decade, 1.1 billion young people in the Global South will reach working age, yet these countries are expected to create only 325 million jobs over the same period. He said that this once again proves that creating job opportunities is the key to eradicating poverty and reducing poverty.
