the other major contributors were south asia with 29% and subsaharan africa with 11%.rward a decade and you'll see china's share of the world's poor began to drop. the trend continues through the 2000s. by 2010 china accounted for only 13% of the world's impoverished population. south asia's share had jumped to 42%. subsaharan had tripled to 34%. the world bank data shows the total number of impoverished chinese declined by 680 million in the last three decades. that's about 95% of the total global decline. by registering double-digit growth for three decades. beijing has transformed the fortunes of a poor nation within a generation. that's amazing, but it tells you that in the rest of the world, progress has been much, much slower, if there's been progress at all. there's a lesson here for other developing countries. take india, for example. new delhi has also made strides against poverty. the problem is those strides have only been a few steps ahead of population growth. look at the numbers. in 1981, 429 million indians lived in poverty. about 60% of the population.

we have wholesale starvation, the poverty in america is not the same as poverty in india or subsaharan africa. what it means is every single day if you live in that situation, you're having to juggle bills. do i pay my heating or i make my car payment? do i buy food for my kids or do i make my house payment? do i buy medicines when the doctor says i need medicine or buy car insurance or keep my gas on? those are impalatable choices. if you send your kids to school hungry, that kid's life opportunities are being trunkated. as, we have a moral obligation to deal with this crises. but instead that does affect 1 of 5 americans. >> but sasha, no way do i want to diminish the suffering, i went in the late '90s to tunica mps which ica mississippe poorest area in the country, sewage in the gutters, 14 million americans are getting disability checks. more than even ten years ago. there certainly is more attention that is being paid is there not? >> we have a partial safety nut. we wait until people get extremely poor and you mention food stamps, that is one part of the safety net that has survived, th
