More than one in five people live in extreme poverty globally, according to a new report, though China's continued economic growth has improved the lives of millions.
The poverty rate in the world's most populous country fell by nearly three-quarters in the last six years, from 26% in 2007 to 7% by 2012,
Such a trend is attributed to the economic reforms within the country in the last couple of decades.
One particular aspect of this socio-economic success has been the rapid industrialization of the country, with a major pivot of people moving from the poorer rural areas of the country to more well off jobs in urban centers, particularly within the manufacturing sector.
Improved education and healthcare have also played a role in helping many out of poverty in China.
