The 2014 Human Development Report - Sustaining Human Progress: Reducing
Vulnerabilities and Building Resilience provides a fresh perspective on

less a day. However, according to the UNDP Multidimensional Poverty Index, almost

declining overall, almost 800 million people are at risk of falling back into poverty if
setbacks occur. Many people face either structural or life-cycle vulnerabilities.
