0This really was a very poor bit of journalism. It never says what the measure of absolute poverty is. Since most government and charity measures are relative measures, such as income less than 60% of the median or the average, this report owes us a definite of 'absolute'. I suspect that the use of 'absolute' was merely rhetoric with no substance behind it. Poor journalism at best; shameful journalism, at worst.
lovemoney.com: Shut up and sing! Stick to the facts that bear on personal finance. Leave your amateurish editorialising for some other venue. If I want commentary, I have much better sources for it. Otherwise, I'll just forsake you for a site that gives me what I want without the rubbish.
