Why Poverty Rose in 2020
There's no single story that fits every year here. Ecuador's figure moves both ways across the period — don't extrapolate from the most recent year alone.
This is one of the clearest global patterns in any dataset from this period — COVID-19 caused a broad, simultaneous rise in poverty, and this chart shows the same interruption most countries experienced.
This chart answers 'what happened' for Ecuador, not 'is that good or bad' — that second question needs a comparison point, either other countries or a longer run of history than what's shown here.
Ecuador's number here, like most in this category, is built from a mix of direct measurement and statistical modeling — reliable for tracking direction, less reliable for pinning down an exact year-to-year figure.
