Martin Ravallion at the World Bank estimates that meeting basic needs requires $1.08 per day per person... 1.1 billion people live below that level in 2001 with an average income of 77¢ per day therefore the extremely poor had a shortfall of 31¢ per day This
equates to a shortfall of $113 per person per year, multiplied by 1.1 billion people is
$124 billion. |
