2nd April 2010 		Just wondering if this facts are based on the global population; since they keep saying that Haiti, Guatemala and Nicaragua are the most poor in America; and here I see Mexico and Colombia leading the numbers for this continent.

8th August 2009 		Interesting to note the over 70% of the world's poor are located in Asia, this is a good reason why Servants to Asia's Urban poor (www.servantsasia.org) focusses on this continent.

21st January 2005 		The distribution of the poor over different countries is indicative of nothing more than their spread geographically. China and India, the world’s most populous nations, are home to over 63% of the world’s poorest and while they rank low on GDP per capita, are high on GDP ranking in terms of purchasing power parity, China 2nd behind the USA and India 4th.

It is also interesting to compare the global distribution of the poor with the proportion of people living below the poverty line within each country and the ratios of a country’s poor with the distribution of wealth within each country. In India, for example, the richest tenth consume 33.5% of the resources, in China (and the USA) around 30.5%).
