The figures cited by the government for people living below the poverty line have come to be widely questioned. With poverty alleviation being the buzzword these days in our economic and social development and a key criterion for aid givers, it is understandable that the policymakers are desperately trying to prove the success of their strategy in terms of falling poverty levels.

In base al rapporto statistico annuale pubblicato dall'Alto Commissariato delle Nazioni Unite per i Rifugiati (Unhcr), alla fine del 2005 il numero dei rifugiati nel mondo ha toccato il livello più basso da 26 anni a questa parte, mentre la cifra complessiva delle persone sradicate di cui l'Agenzia si occupa è cresciuta fino a raggiungere quasi le 21 milioni di unità. Tale aumento è dovuto principalmente all'ampliamento della responsabilità dell'Agenzia nei confronti degli sfollati - persone fuggite per le stesse ragioni dei rifugiati, ma che si trovano ancora all'interno del proprio paese. Nonostante la diminuzione del numero dei rifugiati - dai 9,5 milioni di fine 2004 agli 8,4 milioni dell'anno successivo - il numero complessivo delle persone di cui l'Agenzia si occupa è cresciuto di 1,3 milioni, passando da 19,5 milioni ai 20,8 milioni della fine del 2005. Attualmente l'Unhcr si occupa di 6,6 milioni di sfollati in 16 paesi, mentre alla fine del 2004 erano 5,4 milioni in 13 paesi.
