Poverty
#59
RE: Poverty
Correction: In my post 49, from memory, I claimed that extreme poverty as defined by the UN is living on less than the equivalent of $2 a day. I was mistaken, extreme poverty is currently defined as less than $1.50 US a day in equivalent purchasing power. Also note that most of the gains in reducing this level of poverty since 1990 have been in Asia, Africa, for the most part, has not benefited from this trend.
