According to this new report from the World Bank, 1.2 billion people worldwide live on less than $1 a day; another 1.6 billion people live on less than $2 a day. "A Better World for All" outlines the concerns and goals for setting the groundwork to reduce global poverty. Loaded with charts, graphs, and images, this 28-page report, available in HTML and .pdf formats, allows readers to understand the basic goals of the World Bank. Here readers will find an overview of seven of the World Bank's main issues including poverty, education, infant and child mortality, and the environment. Also included are a questions and answers section, links, and goals and indicators. While "A Better World for All" doesn't offer the kind of in-depth information that experts in development seek, it gives an excellent, easy-to-understand introduction to the kinds of global problems the World Bank studies and strives to solve.
