Source: World Bank

Geographical Area: United Kingdom

Unit of Measurement: Percentage (%)

Footnote:

Poverty headcount ratio at $2.15 a day is the percentage of the population living on less than $2.15 a day at 2017 purchasing power adjusted prices. As a result of revisions in Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) exchange rates, poverty rates for individual countries cannot be compared with poverty rates reported in earlier editions.
