Doesn’t mean anything if you don’t compare the cost of housing/food.
Well I live in London so my commute plus lunch is £40 alone, fuck me.
That data is incredibly false, China and India would blow these out of the water.

What does living under 40$ a day mean?
Is it what they make per day, or what they spend per day?
