According to NetAid, over a billion people, or roughly one in six, live in extreme poverty. Extreme poverty is defined as living on less than US$1 a day. The World Bank goes on to define moderate poverty as basic subsistence living, on $1 to $2 a day. All told, nearly half the world's population lives in poverty -- that's 2.8 billion people living on less than two dollars a day.

In 2010, about 15.1 percent of all Americans lived in poverty. This means that the family as a whole was earning under 25,000 dollars. However, numbers have decreased since then.

Several milion and it depends on what it means to be poor. For instance a working family of 4 ( 2 parents and 2 children) with a income under 31,000 a year is considered poor today. There are 25 million children who are homeless in this country, not to mention the numerous street population.
