And I very much like their new prosperity gap indicator — for which the great @OlivierSterck made the case. It tells you by which factor incomes need to be multiplied to bring everyone to the prosperity standard of $25 per day. For the world as a whole, the factor is five.
And they also added nowcasts that estimate the share in poverty up to the present.
One very helpful new feature is that you can see the growth incidence curves for different countries in the world. This is, for example, how economic growth was shared across the income distribution in Brazil over the last decade.
The World Bank's data portal for poverty, inequality, and growth data has gotten much better! Their replacement for the older PovcalNet is called PIP — the 'Poverty and Inequality Platform'. If you are interested in poverty it is worth having a good look around. They just…

#COVID19 must change the value we all see in timely, high-quality data. This is especially true for #CRVS data on birth, death & cause-of-death registration. Thank you @worldbankdata & fellow panelists for hosting this important discussion. openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/hand… (3/3)

We just released Stata and R packages for the PovcalNet API. Estimate poverty at any poverty line, for any country, or any group of countries. More about our latest data and tools: blogs.worldbank.org/opendata/septe…
