The study, “Indigenous Peoples, Poverty and Development,” released yesterday at the UN during the Ninth Session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, confirms the dire state of indigenous peoples globally—still among the poorest of the poor. But findings from the study also give hope that widespread and sustainable growth and poverty reduction can lift vast segments of the poor.
The indigenous in Asia and Africa
The study examined seven countries in Asia and Africa—China, India, Lao PDR, Vietnam, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Gabon—which together account for 72 percent of the world’s indigenous peoples. China and India alone account for more than two-thirds of the world’s indigenous population.
