poverty on top of APEC agenda
November 15th, 2005
Asia has been growing rapidly for 25 years. So why does half its population live on $2 a day?
By the numbers, Asia is home to seven in 10 of humanity’s poor—about 700 million people—who subsist on $1 a day or less.
Those are some pretty sad numbers.

Exploitation of the talented poor is on I can think of. On the flipside, could it be that the rest of the world is spending too much money,therefore, $2 sounds just too little?
