For the globe, the equivalent proportion is 71%. Up to 95% of India still qualifies as poor or low-income, the vast majority of India's 1.2 billion citizens. A look at India's break-up, based on these parameters, would leave you asking where that celebrated middle-class actually is. (As a reminder of how low this still is, the study reminds us that the poverty line in the United States, comes in at around $16 – on the upper end of what this report considers middle income). As per this measure, the middle-class falls into those who earn between $10 and $20 a day. The thresholds are based on various things, with $2 being the daily per capita income level under which people are globally considered poor, and $2-$10 fitting people in under the low-income category. The study divided the population in each country into five groups based on a family's daily per-capita consumption or income. Yet, despite this, the actual number of people who could be considered middle-income remained under 15%.

In a country quite as large as India, it's hard to identify anything that actually counts as being in the "middle." Yet most of us claim we are middle-class, no matter where we fall on the spectrum, whether compared to the rest of India or the globe.
