Follow up question should be: did they also reclassify 'extreme poverty'?

Poverty is defined as living in a household with consumption per capita below $2.15 per day.

They did not. Unless they forgot to account for inflation, but that would be a pretty glaring mistake to make.

Depends if that $2.15 was adjusted for inflation I guess.
