Doyle;
Poverty and being a pauper are conflated in defining pauperization.
from Wikipedia -
The World Bank defines extreme poverty as living on less than US$
(PPP) 1 per day, andmoderate poverty as less than $2 a day, estimating
that "in 2001, 1.1 billion people had consumption levels below $1 a
day and 2.7 billion lived on less than $2 a day." [2] The proportion
of the developing world's population living in extreme economic
poverty fell from 28 percent in 1990 to 21 percent in 2001.[2] Looking
at the period 1981-2001, the percentage of the world's population
living on less than $1 per day has halved.
and -
The World Bank's "Voices of the Poor," based on research with over
20,000 poor people in 23 countries, identifies a range of factors
which poor people identify as part of poverty.[26] These include:
precarious livelihoods
excluded locations
physical limitations
gender relationships
problems in social relationships
lack of security
abuse by those in power
disempowering institutions
limited capabilities, and
weak community organizations.
Thanks,
Doyle Saylor
