Who is the person or people behind this? That is the first question I'd ask.
The Royal Statistical Society goes beyond the World Bank 2015 claim, by giving a firm "poverty" figure for 2018. Also, it omits that the World Bank claims a "slowdown" since 2013.

Shameful. Functionaries of the Royal Statistical Society should educate themselves about the controversies concerning the poverty measures they propogandize.

Not clear how
@hetanshah can think measures of poverty for the UK are inadequate but those for world as a whole are adequate. -
Thanks to
@mattberkley for bringing@RoyalStatSoc outrageous lack of due diligence on global poverty estimation to our attention. -
I have proposed that the Royal Statistical Society retract the honour. The award was for their own claim of a 'poverty' fall to 2018 - exaggerating even the World Bank claim. Clearly, income or spending alone cannot measure adequacy or economic gains. https://twitter.com/mattberkley/status/1078309220993376261 …

The Royal Statistical Society has responded to allegations that it made a claim on global poverty without evidence, by doing so again. At best gross professional negligence, undermining democracy, and abuse of charitable status?

The Royal Statistical Society Uses more than one fallacy. The World Bank statements contradict Each other; the Society "cherry-picked".
