Poverty

“A condition where people`s basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter are not being met”

Kinds of poverty

• “Absolute” poverty - 1.25 U.S. dollars a day

• “Relative” poverty - poverty in relation to a group

Poverty varies between countries

The world keeps changing, while mindsets remain surprisingly intact

A mindset upgrade with a division of countries into more than two groups is long overdue
