South Asia

About 1.4 billion people live in South Asia, the world’s second most populous region. The proportion of people whose income is less than $1 a day has decreased greatly since 1990. Primary school enrollment is up; mortality rates for children under age five are down.

Despite this progress, more people live in extreme poverty here than in any other region. South Asians continue to face high rates of undernourishment, rising rates of child malnutrition, and the second-lowest life expectancy at birth.
