About Poverty, Мысли про бедность
There is no single definition of poverty. Our understanding of the extent of poverty and how it is changing depends on which definition we have in mind.
Global poverty is one of the most pressing problems that the world faces today. The poorest in the world are often undernourished, without access to basic services such as electricity and safe drinking water; they have less access to education, and suffer from much poorer health.
In order to make progress against such poverty in the future, we need to understand poverty around the world today and how it has changed.
