Poverty

They need to have at least food,a job, somewhere to live and they at least make some money.

The food side of poverty not to much because we actually have enough food to go around the whole world but it doesn't get to the places in need but the money to re-build homes would be a lot.

About 380 million out of 955 million people in Africa live under the $1.25 WHO poverty line, This means that 39.7% are poor

Technically, sharecroppers were not slaves. They did not own land so they borrowed land from rich land owners in return for some of the profit. Sharecroppers could plant what they liked, and basically do what they wanted, just as long as the land owner got his fair share of the profit.

Poverty in the United States is cyclical in nature with roughly 13 to 17% living below the federal poverty line at any given point in time, and roughly 40% falling below the poverty line at some point within a 10 year time span. Most Americans (58.5%) will spend at least one year below the poverty line at some point between ages 25 and 75

Good luck. You should find significant enlightenment on the general levels of poverty in the world. For more specific information I can only suggest lots of midnight hours searching and reading. I only have a dial-up connection in my area but if at all possible try to use a faster internet connection.

South sub Africa has 41% of world poverty. This was made by Kevin.

The long answer or the short answer. While Africa is rich in natural resources the fact that there is a lot of corruption in top government positions means that the people in charge have become very wealthy and the rest of their country has become very poor. Also this high level of corruption has discouraged individuals to start their own businesses, which is vital for development of different products and hiring people. The third reason is infrastructure, even though Africa is developing since they do not have the necessary infrastructure such as roads, hospitals, a stable banking system this makes it very difficult to see any progress. The last major reason which is in a way tied to the first reason is political instability, since there is a lot of political instability in many African countries foreign investors are unwilling to put any capital investment in these countries as the fear is that they will not get their money back or that the government will decide to expropriate their businesses. There is a much more complicated answer but these are just some of the highlights....

Not all black people are poor. For example, there are highly successful musicians, scientists, and even basketball players.

There are poor people of all colors, even right here in the US. It is not always an education issue, but that is a factor.

at each combination consumer receives same level of satisfactn.as income is given and constant and there is no scope for underspending when consumer consumes additional unit of one commodity(food) he has to give up some units of clothing.at each level sacrifice in terms of clothing reduces as now clothing becomes scarce in comparison of food.according to law of DMU with every additional consumption utility diminishes and hence consumer starts valuing less food for clothing.hence MRS is falling.

Every Country, no matter how developed has poverty, poverty is a world wide issue, not just in less developed countries. its just that the poverty in less developed countries is talked about more than the poverty in more developed countries.

He did not consider it a sin, a sign of weakness or a punishment from God. He firmly believed we all have to change our society and to help those in need, without demanding anything from the authorities. He advocated the power of the personal example.

Johnson pushed through several government programs such as TAP (Total action against Poverty) which were intended to reduce or eliminate poverty. None of the programs were particularly helpful except to the people who ran them.

Well,it depends! I would say probably 50-100 dollars. I would rather say it varies,but this seems like a more valid answer. I hope the person who asked this does not end up in poverty. Bless you and your family.

Indians are not poor. They are very rich. India is the fourth richest country in the world. it is richer than the European union. They are soon going to beat Japan. Anyone who thinks India is poor country is a moron.

There are lots of governmental action plans on reduction of poverty. All citizens must endeavor to ensure that these plans are implemented to the fullest. The main thing to remember is that 'dole' by itself ( handing out money and food grain to the poor) is non sustainable. We must have sustainable jobs for all in order to improve the economic outlook of the economically challenged. This is the only solution to mitigate the plight of the poverty stricken.

it is a concern because the whole economy runs on money. If you don't have that your screwed.

Because these dumb immigrants come over and can't language and suck at life therefore they do nothing but rap our benefits and we end up paying for it.

abundance, wealth, luxury, affluence, richness

94.63% of the population has one microwave at least. 8.5% have two or more.

Poverty incidence among Filipino families increased from 24.4 percent in 2003 to 26.9 percent in 2006. Poverty incidence refers to the proportion of families or individuals with per capita income less than the per capita poverty threshold to the total number of families or individuals.

It can be argued that income inequality is the same as poverty: Being poor and rich are relative terms, meaning "how much do you have compared to other people". In this definition, without income inequality there is no poverty. Even if everyone is living just marginally above starvation, as long as it is the same for everyone it would be described as "that's life" or similar, not as poverty.

There are also arguments that income inequality is a major driving force for increasing the standard of living for everyone: Risk takers like people starting a business will only do this if they think they can make good money on it, and by doing so they supply jobs and increase productivity for the entire society. Although society will have poor people (by the mere fact that some of these businesses will succeed and their owners thereby get rich) even the poor will get a higher standard of living in absolute terms than what would otherwise be the case.

I think there are merits to both views, but I don't have a final answer.

According to the National Census, there were 44 million living in poverty in the United States alone. This also takes into account what the government would consider the national income average for middle class incomes at that time. Therefore anyone under that average would have been classed as poor or in the poverty level.

I believe you meant to ask the question, how are people affected by poverty. But, just in case, I'll answer the question the way it is written. Poverty is affected by people because the more people that are in poverty, the larger the area poverty covers will be. As people continue to lose jobs, they will quit putting money back into society. If 20 citizens of one city lose their jobs, that's 20 people that are not going to shop as frequently in their towns. This will affect the businiess in "People 20's" community, possibly causing some business's to close.

We all care about our own poverty. Own here means the circle you consider larger the circle lesser is the concern. For example poverty of self is the most concerned; of the family comes next and of the society after that. Poverty of a person otherwise not directly related to us at the most earns our pity.

Even poverty of an employer is generally not of any concern of the employee as long as his salary and benefits are intact rather the income of the employer if not shared judiciously with the employees may be a case of envy.

this means freedom from poverty
