(31.15) Nearly 20 million people in the United States are facing extreme poverty

According to the latest updated US statistics, the number of people living below the poverty line in the United States is 4 million. Nearly two crore people of them are in the grip of extreme poverty. A recent United Nations report on the socio-economic condition of the United States has shown that country's day-to-day riches discriminate. The number of people forced to live in less than $ 2 a day is increasing day by day.

According to the US Census Bureau update, September 1, 2007, 1 in 8 people in the United States are at least poor. According to statistics, 4 million poor people are 12.7 percent of the total population. Among them, 85 million live in extreme poverty, whose family income is less than half of the poverty line. Meanwhile, the United Nations recently released a report on the economic disparity and human rights of the world's richest countries. Special ambassador to the United Nations, Philip Euston, has brought about the endangerment of the US poverty and human rights situation in analyzing the situation as part of his responsibilities. His research and related reports highlight the horror of the recent US situation.

According to research conducted under the supervision of Special Ambassador of Poverty and Human Rights, Aston, 40 percent of those who were poor in the United States in 1999 were very poor. The rate has increased 46 percent in 2015. Also, due to the absence of unemployment and social protection, the number of ultra-poor forced to live in less than $ 2 per capita per day is increasing. The United States is also ahead of the poorest of the poor. In OECD countries, where the rate is 14 percent, a quarter of the United States youth are poorer.

The United States ranked 35th on the list of poverty and discrimination in 37 of the 37 OECD countries. Income inequality among Western countries is the highest in the United States. According to 'Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality', the number of children in poverty is much higher in the United States compared to other developed countries. Alston wrote, "The United States is the world's richest, most powerful. The most advanced from the technical side. It is not his wealth, nor his technical superiority, nor his ability to change the condition of 40 million people living in poverty.

While making reports on the poor people of the United States and the human rights situation in the United States, Alston said on the one hand, representatives of civil society in Washington DC, with experts, high officials and civilians, as well as visiting California, Alabama, Georgia, Puerto Rico and West Virginia Locations With the information published by the United States officially, he showed how backward the country is in poverty reduction. Alaston's comment, "The poverty situation in the country is very intricate compared to its velocity and is incompatible with the principles of its established human rights." He thinks that if there is no magic reality in reducing poverty, the poverty of the wealthy countries in the United States is largely the result of powerful roles. It is possible to eliminate poverty if political will is possible.
