What is
Poverty
By: Zhou Junbai, Sim Peijing
and Benjamin Lim
Poverty is the lack of living condition
such as the shortage of food and
unavailable shelter.
Poverty also means not being able to
send children to events and birthday
parties and not having decent
clothing.
Poverty is not being able to pay for
medications to cure illness.
 Dr Mahbubul Haq, one of the most
reowned economist is Asia, helped
people facing poverty in Pakistan to get
out of their discrimination from the rest.
 Haq explains, “What is more relevant
than poverty of income is poverty of
opportunity, which means denial of
access to education, credit, and other
economic and political opportunities. It is
such denial of opportunities that prevents
the poor from crossing the threshold to a
decent living standard.”
The facts about poverty
 At least 80% of humanity live on less than $10
per day
 The income difference worldwide is widening
 According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die
each day due to poverty. And they “die
quietly in some of the poorest villages on
earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the
conscience of the world. Being meek and
weak in life makes these dying multitudes
even more invisible in death.
 Nearly a billion people entered the 21st
century unable to read a book or sign
their names.
 Lots of children are dying due to poverty
and other diseases because they cannot
afford to get medication and see doctors.
 Regions Millions without electricity
