    The headline is a bit misleading. The authors give a range from 30-44%.

    Very interesting conclusions on economic growth and extreme poverty. When an economy grows, the basic necessities might become too expensive for the poorest in the country.

      The headline is a bit misleading. The authors give a range from 30-44%.
