25 Sobering Statistics On Global Poverty That Might Upset You

Order: Reorder
Duration: 4:15
Updated: 24 Dec 2013

Everyone knows there is poverty in the world. But what exactly does that mean? These are 25 sobering statistics on global poverty that might upset you. https://twitter.com/list25 https://www.facebook.com/list25 http://list25.com Check out the text version too! - http://list25.com/25-sobering-statistics-on-global-poverty-that-might-upset-you Here's a preview: At least 80% of humanity lives on less than $10 per day To put things into perspective, the top 20% of the world's population accounts for three quarters of the world's income Half of the world's population accounts for only 5% of the world's income According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die every day due to poverty Nearly one third of children in developing countries are estimated to be underweight or stunted Last year, about 70 million children of primary school age were not in school Nearly a billion people celebrated the coming of the 21st century without being able to read a book or sign their name Preventable diseases like Malaria afflict nearly 500 million people every year Africa alone accounts for roughly 1 million deaths due to Malaria annually. Most of them are children Speaking of children, there are 2.2 billion children in the world. Half of them live in extreme poverty Over 1 billion people have inadequate access to water and 2.6 billion lack basic sanitation. Many times this means no separation of drinking water and toilet water. That is why 1.8 million children die every year of diarrhoea Approximately half of the world's population now lives in cities and about one third of those in the cities live in slum conditions In fact, slum growth is outpacing urban growth by a frighteningly large margin One quarter of humanity lives without electricity The 7 richest people in the world make more than the poorest 41 countries combined (roughly 567 million people) .14% of the world population own over 80% of the world's private financial wealth. The vast majority of that wealth has managed to avoid all income and estate taxes, either by the countries where it has been invested or where it comes from. For every $1 in aid that a developing country receives, over $25 is spent on debt repayment. The poorer the country, the more likely it is that the debt repayments are being extracted directly from the people who neither contracted the loans nor received any money In 1998 $8 billion dollars was spent on cosmetics in the United States, $11 billion was spent on ice cream in the European Union, $17 billion was spent on pet food in Europe and the US, $100 billion was spent on alcohol in Europe, $400 billion was spent on narcotics globally, and $780 billion was spent on militaries around the world. In the same year $6 billion was spent on achieving basic education for all, $9 billion was spent on basic water and sanitation for all, and $13 billion was spent on basic health and nutrition for all If you are reading this list then you are in the top 30% of the world's population when it comes to poverty and wealth With new technologies we now grow enough food to feed 10 billion people or 1.5 times the world population. The problem is that most of the world can't afford to buy that food. If the world spent less than 1% of what it spends on weapons all the previously mentioned issues would be fixed

If work in each family were raised to 2,000 hours per year-the equivalent of one adult working 40 hours per week throughout the year- nearly 75 percent of poor children would be lifted out of official poverty. Father absence is another major cause of child poverty. Nearly two-thirds of poor children reside in single-parent homes; each year, an additional 1.5 million children are born out of wedlock. If poor mothers married the fathers of their children, almost three-quarters would immediately be lifted out of poverty. Each year, the U.S. imports, through both legal and illegal immigration, hundreds of thousands of additional poor persons from abroad. As a result, one-quarter of all poor persons in the U.S. are now first-generation immigrants or the minor children of those immigrants. Roughly one in ten of the persons counted among the poor by the Census Bureau is either an illegal immigrant or the minor child of an illegal. In the late 1990s, the United States established a reasonable record in reducing child poverty. Successful anti-poverty policies were partially implemented in the welfare reform legislation of 1996, which replaced the old Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program with a new program called Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF). In general, children born and raised outside marriage are seven times more likely to live in poverty than are children born and raised by married couples. "Religion has a big influence on giving patterns," said the Chronicle. "Regions of the country that are deeply religious are more generous than those that are not." http://www.ethicsdaily.com/republican-states-give-more-to-charity-than-democratic-states-cms-19923 -- Although liberal families' incomes average 6 percent higher than those of conservative families, conservative-headed households give, on average, 30 percent more to charity than the average liberal-headed household ($1,600 per year vs. $1,227). -- Conservatives also donate more time and give more blood. -- Residents of the states that voted for John Kerry in 2004 gave smaller percentages of their incomes to charity than did residents of states that voted for George Bush. -- Bush carried 24 of the 25 states where charitable giving was above average. -- In the 10 reddest states, in which Bush got more than 60 percent majorities, the average percentage of personal income donated to charity was 3.5. Residents of the bluest states, which gave Bush less than 40 percent, donated just 1.9 percent. -- People who reject the idea that "government has a responsibility to reduce income inequality" give an average of four times more than people who accept that proposition. Democrats represent a majority of the wealthiest congressional districts, and half of America's richest households live in states where both senators are Democrats. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/03/conservatives_more_liberal_giv.html http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2007/08/how-poor-are-americas-poor-examining-the-plague-of-poverty-in-america Stefan Molyneux's Social Media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stefan.molyneux Twitter: https://twitter.com/stefanmolyneux Google+: https://www.google.com/+StefanMolyneux_Freedomain_Radio Linked In: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/stefan-molyneux/5/72a/703 Freedomain Radio Social Media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Official.Freedomain.Radio Twitter: https://twitter.com/freedomainradio Google+: https://www.google.com/+FreedomainradioFDR LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/freedomain-radio Message Board: http://board.freedomainradio.com Meet-Up Groups: http://www.meetup.com/Freedomain-Radio/ Blogspot: http://freedomain.blogspot.com/ iTunes Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/freedomain-radio!-volume-6/id552010683

White Poverty (in the New South Africa)

Order: Reorder
Duration: 6:22
Updated: 27 Jul 2013

More than 40 000 whites, of a total 4,5 million South Africans are currently classified as absolutely poor and live in informal settlements. Shacks and tents can be found on farms hidden far away from the public eye. Occasionally you may see a white beggar at the traffic lights, but in general most South Africans deny that there is such a thing as white poverty. This is the story of several white families who have lost their jobs and fallen into poverty as a consequence of preferential treatment for blacks. They are known as the "poor whites," a group that hardly gets discussed but that is rapidly increasing in size. Director Saskia Vredeveld follows an older couple that tries to help by picking up food at the supermarkets and meat auction and handing it out to the poor. They do not get any financial support from the government for their work, and it is only thanks to their determination that they manage to keep their heads above water. They bring us along to Coronation Caravan Park, an encampment just outside of Johannesburg where a large group of primarily white people live in wretched conditions.

Top Kenny Price, Poverty

There's a way of life that most folks don't even know about
When the cotton crop fails and the garden dries up because of the drought
And your only clothes're hangin' on your back and they're all wornout
And there's patches on the patches on your knees
The night wind whistles through the cracks and holes in the bedroom walls
The high water comes and it takes your house barn and all
You work like a dog to raise a fat hog and he dies in the fall
It's trouble and strife in the way of life called poverty
Poverty is a broken down shack and a greedy landlord
And your money crop beaten down by the summer storm
And you never see Washington's head on a greenback dollar
Poverty is a wishing to the Lord that you've never been born
[ steel ]
Try to catch a rabbit in a knee deep snow for somethin' to eat
But all you catch is a winter cough and frozen feet
The rabbits done gone and you gotta go home without any meat
Wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't six kids depended on me
We'd starve to death a long time ago hadn't been for ole blue
Blues mold hound dog and he's a good in two
He'll catch them coons where there ain't no coons he'll see us through
This trouble and strife in the way of life called poverty
Poverty is a broken down shack...
[ harmonica ]
Poverty is a workin' six days from dawn to dusk
Seventh day is Sunday and go to church you must
When they pass their heads around you just sit there with your head hung down
Cause you ain't got between you and the devil and the deep blue see
It's trouble and strife in the way of life called poverty

Top Bobby Bland, Poverty

Up every morning
With the sun
I work all day
Til the evening comes
Blisters and corns
All in my hands
Lord, have mercy
On a working man
I guess I'm gonna die
Just like I live
In poverty
My pay goes down
And my tax goes up
I drink my tea
From a broken cup
Between my woman
And Uncle Sam
I can't figure out
Who's fool I am
I guess I'm gonna die
Just like I'm living
In poverty
Oh, Lord, it's so hard
But it's fair
Everybody talk but
Nobody really care
Lord, I can't save a dime
Can't borrow one cent
If I pay my bills
I can't pay my rent
The old lady's fussing
And the kids are crying
They won't let me join
The welfare line
I guess I'm gonna die
Just like I'm living
In poverty
There's a war on poverty
They say it's going around
But all that means, people
They're trying hard
To keep you down
Oh, oh, oh, Lord, poverty

Top Mick Hucknall, Poverty

Up every morning with the sun
I work all day till the evening comes
Blisters and corns all in my hands
Lord, have mercy on a working man
I guess I'm gonna die just like I?m living
In poverty
My pay goes down and my tax goes up
I drink my tea from a broken cup
Between my woman and Uncle Sam
I can't figure out whose fool I am
I guess I'm gonna die just like I'm living
In poverty
Oh Lord, it's so hard but it's fair
Everybody talks but nobody really cares, Lord
I can't save a dime, can't buy me one cent
I pay my bills, I can't pay my rent
The old lady's fussing and the kids are crying
They won't let me join the welfare line
I guess I'm gonna die just like I'm living
In poverty
They say there?s one poverty
They say it's going around now
But all I need is people, oh Lord
They're trying to keep you down now, oh
Poverty, that's where I'm gonna stay now
