Check out the movement in the graph starting around 7:40. A huge portion of East Asia and South Asia (where a large part of the world's population lives) experienced a large gain. (We might not consider a move from $1/day to $10/day significant, but it is)

As another commenter pointed out, this isn't something we can attribute to some "U.S. generation", but there it is.
