I'm not sure what was used as the poverty line here, but the global poverty line of $1.90 used by the World Bank isn't accurate for several reasons according to many scholars, some say that it should actually be as high as $12, even the World Bank itself said that it shouldn't be used to inform policy decisions.

If you look at the proportions of people living in poverty globally minus China with a poverty line of $7.40, you'll see that the percentage actually hasn't changed at all since 1980.
