The two charts depict rural share of poverty during the decade-long period 1993-2002, and the comparative spread in rural vis-à-vis urban areas, specifically in the terminal year 2002.
As per the pie chart, while rural areas share 76% of poverty, the urban share is only 24%. That means the rural populace is thrice as likely to be poor as urban population. This huge gap is, however, not evenly spread across major regions of the world, as shown by the bar graph.
In three major regions of the world, namely Middle East & North Africa, South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, there is a marginal reduction in rural share of poverty during this 10-year period. On the contrary, there is a substantial increase in poverty during this period in Europe and Central Asia. There is little change in East Asia & Pacific, where rural poverty has a whopping 90% share. An honorable exception is North America & Caribbean, where the rural share was always low but has further gone down to just 40%.
