« Almost half the world — over 3 billion people — live on less than $2.50
a day.
• The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the 41 Heavily Indebted Poor
Countries (567 million people) is less than the wealth of the world’s 7 richest
people combined.
•Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign
their names.
•Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was
needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen.
•1 billion children live in poverty (1 in 2 children in the world). 640 million live
without adequate shelter, 400 million have no access to safe water, 270 million
have no access to health services. 10.6 million died in 2003 before they reached
the age of 5 (or roughly 29,000 children per day). »

8. 2. Poverty Around The World
Last updated Sunday, January 02, 2011.
« Around the world, in rich or poor nations, poverty has always been
present.
In most nations today, inequality—the gap between the rich and the poor—is
quite high and often widening.
The causes are numerous, including a lack of individual responsibility, bad
government policy, exploitation by people and businesses with power and
influence, or some combination of these and other factors.
Many feel that high levels of inequality will affect social cohesion and lead to
problems such as increasing crime and violence.
Inequality is often a measure of relative poverty. Absolute poverty, however, is
also a concern. World Bank figures for world poverty reveals a higher number
of people live in poverty than previously thought.
For example, the new poverty line is defined as living on the equivalent of $1.25
a day. With that measure based on latest data available (2005), 1.4 billion people
live on or below that line.
Furthermore, almost half the world—over three billion people—live on less than
$2.50 a day and at least 80% of humanity lives on less than $10 a day: »

9. > Why can you say that poverty is everywhere ?
3. The children, an important target of
Poverty and Misery.
« Over 22,000 children die every day around the world.
That is equivalent to:
-1 child dying every 4 seconds
-15 children dying every minute
-A 2010 Haiti earthquake occurring almost every 10 days
-A 2004 Asian Tsunami occurring almost every 10 days
-An Iraq-scale death toll every 18–43 days
-Just under 8.1 million children dying every year
-Some 88 million children dying between 2000 and 2009
The silent killers are poverty, easily preventable diseases and illnesses, and other related
causes. Despite the scale of this daily/ongoing catastrophe, it rarely manages to achieve, much
less sustain, prime-time, headline coverage. »
