Bibliography example
Max Roser and Esteban Ortiz-Ospina (2018) – “Global Extreme Poverty”. OurWorldInData.org. Retrieved from: ‘https://ourworldindata.org/extreme-poverty’
“It is important to note that the International Poverty Line is extremely low. Indeed, ‘extreme poverty’ is an adequate term for those living under this low threshold. Focusing on extreme poverty is important precisely because it captures those most in need. However, it is also important to point out that living conditions well above the International Poverty Line can still be characterized by poverty and hardship. Accordingly, in this entry we will also discuss the global distribution of people below poverty lines that are higher than the International Poverty Line of 1.90 int.-$.”

Studies show that a 10 percent increase in a country’s average income reduces poverty by as much as 20-30 percent.
- Improve management of water and other natural resources.Most of the rural poor depend on agriculture or other natural resources for their livelihood. Consequently, it is necessary that they have more equitable access to those resources so they are better able to manage their resources.
- Invest in and implement agricultural programs.China has helped 800 million people out of poverty since 1978. As a part of its strategy to eradicate poverty by 2020, the Agricultural Bank of China will lend more than $400 billion to help develop rural areas, fund education, infrastructure, and crop production.
