The serious problem of the world poverty
Poverty is a great threat to our world. Despite progress in recent decades, the extreme poverty prevalent in low-income countries is a critical problem facing the global community.
World Bank economists estimate that roughly one billion people, one sixth of the world population, are living in extreme poverty today.  The World Bank uses a statistical standard to determine who is considered to be the extreme poor of the world.  Those whose income is less than $1 a day are considered to be living in "extreme poverty".   These are the people struggling just to survive each day.  Another 1.5 billion people are living in "moderate poverty", having incomes of between $1 and $2 a day.  These are people whose basic needs are met, but they struggle to make ends meet.  90% poor people live in South Asia, Africa, Southeast Asia, Mongolia,Central America and Brazil.[1]        
Poverty is a source of the world upheaval, and eliminating poverty is a great task of the whole human race, therefore, for a very long time, people have been fighting with it. During the war between poverty and human being, the IMF plays an important role.
