From [2] it looks like poverty has been going up and down staying within 10-15% range for the past 50 years.
I'm sure it's possible to construct a measure which will show that poverty went up - as it's equally possible to show the opposite - but either will mostly likely be overfitting, i. e. hand-picking data to prove the desired point.
