Global Hunger Index vs. extreme poverty

The Global Hunger Index measured against the share of the population living in extreme poverty (living on less than 1.90 international dollars a day at 2011 prices).
The GHI comprises of four key hunger indicators: prevalence of undernourishment in the total population; childhood wasting; childhood stunting; and child mortality.
This calculation results in GHI scores on a 100-point scale where 0 is the best score (no hunger) and 100 the worst.versus
