Poverty gap at $3.00 a day is the mean shortfall in income or consumption from the poverty line of $3.00 a day at 2021 international prices (2021 PPP), counting the non-poor as having zero shortfall, expressed as a percentage of the poverty line. It reflects the depth of poverty as well as its incidence. As a result of revisions in PPP exchange rates, poverty rates for individual countries cannot be compared with poverty rates reported in earlier editions.
