Here's how much Yahoo is really worth. If you've been paying attention at all to Yahoo, one thing you may have heard (repeatedly) is that the company's core businesses â Yahoo Finance, Sports, News, mail, etc. â are worth less than $0. That's because Yahoo owns a 15% stake in Alibaba. At today's market cap, that's ~$32 billion.
The poverty rate increased for children younger than 18 (from 20.7 percent in 2009 to 22.0 percent in 2010) and people 18 to 64 (from 12.9 percent in 2009 to 13.7 percent in 2010), while it was not statistically different for people 65 and older (9.0 percent).
China pulled 680m people out of misery in 1981-2010, and reduced its extreme-poverty rate from 84% in 1980 to 10% now. That is one reason why (as the briefing explains) it will be harder to take a billion more people out of extreme poverty in the next 20 years than it was to take almost a billion out in the past 20.
