Poverty

Yes. A person with limited income and/or assets can obtain a NYC ID card at low cost or at no cost.

The war on poverty was not a military engagement- it refers to the new federal programs designed to combat poverty under the Lyndon Johnson administration.

I can't think of any previous programs of similar nature that were called wars.

Since then there is the war on drugs.

Romania is an underdeveloped country but not a poor country.

11% of Germany is below the poverty line, national rate is 13.5%

It is obvious. Poverty in Libya is caused due to the leadership of its Muamaar Khadaffy. Khadaffy was in power for over 40 years to squander the oil wealth of the country. He closed off education, killed political dissenters, consorted with terrorists all over the world, and neglected to think for the welfare of his people. It is uncommon for one person to rule over a country for so many years and still has nothing to show for his leadership.

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a ranking created by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) to measure countries or regions according to three basic population parameters: health, education and income. For Mexico, which has 31 states and one federal district, the lowest belong to Oaxaca (0.681), Guerrero (0.679) and Chiapas (0.667). For comparison purposes, their indexes correspond to those of the Philippines, Bolivia and South Africa, respectively -- Mexico's overall index is 0.762, akin to Lebanon or Azerbaijan.

Yes, there are poor people living in poverty in the UK.

It helps saves the natural resources by just re-using the them this preserves them seeing that the world is running low on some of them. Produces less waists so it really does help. Recycling re-uses the natural resources and preserves the ones that we are running low on.

In "A Horse and Two Goats" by R.K. Narayan, the main character Muni has been stricken by poverty by a plague and only owns two goats. He is eager to take the American's money for what he believes to be his two goats, even though he cannot understand what the American is asking for.

it is a situation in which a large section of people in economy are deprived of the basic necessities

This amount is slightly more than a single person needs to live above the low-income level.

Poverty causes more crime because people in poverty cannot get the things they need like food, medicine, and clothing and sometimes they get so desperate they will steal to get things they need.

Do what I did.

At the age of 50 I searched for and found a property which I could just about afford, because it needed loads of refurbishment, and took a 10 year mortgage (which means high repayments, even though the total is small).

This meant relocating from the South to the North Esat of the UK, changing my job and whole lifestyle and leaving friends plus much of my family behind.

However ... I picked the best I could and made the best of it, gradually improving the property until 4 years later I was able to sell it on with 120% profit.

I then rented for a year and subsequently moved abroad to Bulgaria where the country is beautiful, the people are kind and welcoming and the living is very very cheap. My pension now stretches to allow me a very reasonable lifestyle and I no longer have to work.

It is daunting but can be done if you are determined.

Good luck

If only we knew the answer to this question. The day that we do, we can fix a lot of problems around the world by applying the same knowledge.

1. These aggregates do not measure the distribution of income and final goods and services. A higher GDP can be due to an increase in the income only of the richer section of the economy. The income of the poorer section could even have deteriorated despite a high GDP or GNP.

2. Externalities are ignored in the calculation of GDP. A higher GDP may have resulted in the current year due to unsustainable use of resources during a period.

Poverty is profoundly limiting for those who live in it. Since money is a necessity for meeting one's physical, material, and many social and emotional needs, people who are economically deprived experience extreme stress on every level of existence.

Examples of poverty-related problems:

--Children who live in poverty often live in poor neighborhoods and attend under-funded public schools.

--Students who grow up in poverty face significant barriers to attaining post-secondary (post-high school) education and professional training: application and tuition costs, limits on work availability, and insufficient time to study are a few factors.

--People in poverty are at high risk for homelessness and chronic hunger.

--People in poor neighborhoods face substantial difficulties in finding well-paying, meaningful jobs due to lack of sufficient skills and/or education, geographic distance from employers, lack of reliable transportation, lack of affordable childcare, and many other factors.

--Poverty severely limits access to health care, psychological services, and necessary prescription medication. There is a substantial correlation between homelessness and mental illness.

--The poor are politically marginalized and ignored. Cuts in government spending usually start at the bottom, with services meant to provide basic necessities, training, and support to help poor people obtain gainful employment.

Utopia if you like literature, Communism if you're liberal and/or feeling idealistic.

Oil was one of the incentives to invade the Middle East. With this, came terrorism on our own soil.
