What is the poverty rate for Los Angeles?

Almost two out of five of Los Angeles County's 9.8 million residents do not have enough income to meet their basic needs and many qualify for government anti-poverty programs. An estimated 37.6 percent lived below 200 percent of the federal poverty line, which was $40,000 per year for a family of four in 2006. The cities of Los Angeles and Long Beach fair worse than the County, with 44 percent and 42.8 percent of residents living below 200 percent of the federal poverty line respectively. ? The number of families in extreme poverty declined from 13.4 percent in 2005 to 12.4 percent in 2006. More than one-quarter of a million families in Los Angeles County live below the federal poverty line.These stats presuppose knowledge about the inherent biases in the US FDA's "poverty measure." If you the name Mollie Orshansky doesn't mean anything to you, be sure to read this (http://www.ocpp.org/poverty/how.htm) about how poverty "rate" measure was historically created.

Should Indian government follow one child policy?

So long as they remain as poverty stricken as they are there is no way that the amount of children born in India will reduce. Family's that are poor rely on a sizable family for their standard of living. the chances of losing family members is greater if they are poor so more family members are needed to cover for this eventuality. European or industrially developed country's have shown a reduction in fertility because they have better things to do then raise a large family. So in the end the way to reduce population can only be through increasing wealth. In India this will take a long time because there is a t present a huge gap between the haves and the have nots.
