Often in response to serious crisis; civil war, or environmental consequence; earthquake, or longitudinal ethnic, religious, cultural persecution. Relative poverty - economic inequality in a location or society. Within the international rights community, there is a lot of emphasis on children"s. World bank estimates put the population of global poor at 1. 5 billion people. Those who love on less than 1. 25 a day. Not very accurate because every place has a different amount of needs.
