>Plus the poverty level data isn't updated according to sky high inflation either i.e. the income bracket you should fall in to be considered poor here.

This isn't an income-based measure of poverty like you'd use in the US, they're measuring access to real goods like food and cooking fuel. How many calories are they eating a day, do they have access to clean drinking water, etc.

We may see an temporary increase in poverty over the next few years if there is a global recession, but the long-term trendline shouldn't change.
