Poverty line

Poverty line (armoedegrens): The amount of money you need at a minimum to live in a country. This differs from country to country.

Poverty line

Poverty line (armoedegrens): De hoeveelheid geld die je minimaal nodig hebt. Dit verschilt van land tot land. Bijvoorbeeld:

In Nederland is dit het geval: "The poverty line for the Netherlands is drawn at approximately €1,040 a month for a single individual and up to €1,960 for a couple with two children."  This is about 34 euros a day

Maar in Afrika dit: 'African households with a consumption level below the 1.9$/day poverty line declined from 40% in 2010 to 34% in 2019. At below 3.2 $/day, the poverty rate fell from 63% to 59%; and at below 5.5 $/day, it fell from 83% to 80%." 1,9$ per day is about 60 dollars a month
