On eradicating poverty (SDG 1), the analysis shows that developing countries in Asia have made great gains. From 2002 to 2018, all sub-regions greatly reduced extreme poverty, with East Asia being the most successful, as just 0.7% of population remains in extreme poverty. Cambodia, Nepal and Tajikistan were most successful in reducing the share of the working poor as a percentage of the total population. Whereas in 2002, developing countries in Asia had 1.1 billion people leaving in extreme poverty, this number fell to 264 million by 2015. [ADB Key Indicators Database] [SDG Progress Summaries]
