After doing the math (below) and calculating the absolute values ONLY by using what was provided in the graph by OurWorldInData (pixel counting), I can get the above graph. I used a simple area chart for Figure 1 because it’s close in content and character to what they posted. A “simple” area chart is effectively a line chart, as each individual point is with reference to 0, and is therefore it is not suitable to showcase a relationship of each individual part to a whole over time.
Figure 1 can also be represented as Figure 2 simply by subtracting the two quantities to calculate for “Only China” and switching to a stacked area chart. A stacked area chart is what is used in the OP, and it is used to show relationships between two different quantities and also their relationship to the whole over time. On the contrary, a line chart/“simple” area chart is better used to look at different quantities in isolation.

So, using ONLY their graph, and converting it to absolute values, we get basically the exact same graph as in the OP (only with 2 points over time instead of however many there are in the full dataset).
In effect, they’re using two clever tricks in the OurWorldInData graph - one trick is that they calculate from the perspective of World and World-minus-China and using a line chart two draw an equivalence between them. Another trick is that they use Share of Population (%) as the Y-axis, which is inherently problematic for comparisons, as (a) the world population changed (b) the chinese population stayed basically the same. This means that although the share might decrease, the absolute value (the raw number of people in extreme poverty) may stay the same (or even increase! though it didn’t), and finally © it’s easier for people to conceptualize an absolute count of individuals who were lifted out of poverty rather than thinking of percentages of population.
Their conclusion is that China was not solely responsible for poverty alleviation. No shit. Even the OP says China accounts “only” for 75% of world poverty alleviation, and uses $1.90 as benchmark for extreme poverty whereas this uses $2.15.
For a website called OurWorldInData, they sure can’t represent data for shit.
By pixel counting, the graph says extreme poverty (below $2.15) in the…
World 2022 8.983%
World minus China 2022 10.913%
World 1990 37.992%
World minus China 1990 28.726%
Then…
World population in 1990
- 5.293 billion (5,293,000,000)
China population in 1990
- 1.135 billion (1,135,000,000)
World population without China in 1990
- 4.158 billion (4,158,000,000)
World population in 2022
- 7.951 billion (7,951,000,000)
China population in 2022
- 1.412 billion (1,412,000,000)
World population without China in 2022
- 6.539 billion (6,539,000,000)
Absolute values for extreme poverty (below $2.15) in the…
World 2022 714,238,330
World minus China 2022 713,601,070
World 1990 2,010,916,560
World minus China 1990 1,194,427,080
This also matches the graph in the OP. By pixel counting the world-minus-china has 1195 million in 1990, which is what we got, and 701 million in 2017 which is close to what we got. The differences can be explained by the fact that the OurWorldInData graph goes to 2022 and that they define extreme poverty by $2.15 whereas OP’s WorldBank goes by $1.90.
Mention any projects, programmes, self-learning you’ve participated in (inflate the importance of these somewhat) to at least break it up. Now, assuming that you’ve broken up the big gap into smaller gaps, write a simple and straightforward explanation about your situation at the end talking about all the gaps in general. Just write what you wrote here about the job market but more professionally. Don’t overthink it, some random professor will most likely spend 2-3 minutes looking at it. If you’re applying to some mid uni (I mean any uni that isn’t a cutthroat uni in the US or UK) and your bachelor’s GPA was like 3.2ish+ then you’ll be fine. You’ll just be in the middle of the batch, and depending on how many students applied that semester you’ll have an alright chance at the least.
Are ISSraelis allowed to fly drones anywhere or do they need a “certification” (registry)

why? wouldn’t the criticism target the tail end of their existence considering they ultimately failed?
They will say that the Ukrainian constitution forbids elections under martial law, when in fact this is only for the Verkhovnaya Rada, and not the Presidential post. And besides, it’s not like the constitution told Zelensky he should ban the opposition parties lmfao.
Liberals will spread misinformation like wildfire because their American-propagandized worldview depends on it.
Meloni loved Mussolini so much she joined his biggest fanclub and Germany and the US are engaged in an actual genocide. They’re all in a “peace summit” where one of the two parties that needed to be peaced was not invited. Are you sure you’re not the nazi supporting this charade in the name of peace?
Also lol at your peace summit where many of the countries that were invited refused to sign the concluding statement after the belligerent parties spit on an extremely generous peace offering.

wait, your advisor looks at your work?
god the torygraph is just sensationalist garbage
you’re assuming they know what an arafat is
also they just want an arab, any arab, in the pic because they’ll only recognize putin anyway

Kaspersky is probably the best company to hear from regarding such high profile compromises. Their discovery and breakdown of the recent Apple chip backdoor revealed how the American spy machine infiltrated Apple.
You’re right to be skeptical, the source is RFA/Radio Svoboda and their article also mentions that Memorial calls him a political prisoner, and it’s an “international human rights society” (another NGO) where two of its founders wrote for RFA or were caught (and admitted to) receiving funding from foreign sources. There needs to be more information before baselessly parroting such propaganda.
