Bit ambiguous and it isn't really. Globally speaking most of us are actually getting richer; the divide between rich and poor is growing but that's not the same as increasing poverty.
In the western world most of us have seen our living standards stagnate or go down true but we are still enjoying a standard of living higher than our parents and grandparents.
What I mean to say is that it's getting worse for those in poverty. Pollution, desertification, exploitation—all contributing to lower qualities of life.
