Most of my spelling errors are carelessness-related. Most of my grammatical errors are intensional. "Wrong category" when refering to philosophy is even more subjective than my unanswerable "Q" (I will assume that's "question", in any case it should be "Q." but maybe such mispunctuation is related to not beeing able to tell orthography from gramatics).
My terrible writting is less evident when I write in my home language, instead of the others I handle. Fortunately, I constantly improve my writing skills, meanwhile I've chosen not to wait untill I master a language before I dare use it.
What I am looking forward to read is prescisely the diverse views of those who care and are versed on this matter (and I think the tone of my question shows this).
Filómata (as should be obvious to anyone who speaks english) is spanish for Philomath (lover of learning). I always correct people when they express themselves incorrectly, instead of saying that I don't mean any offense.

Hello, Filomata,

We can appreciate your interest in such statistics. If you seek 10 different media for information you will get 10 completely different statistics.which one would you believe.

Moreover , the basic needs like food for an American may be Cereals, eggs, bread and jam and yougart.

The basic need for a labourer in India is just some quantity of rice. he is more happy than the American. The health care in America, for example is so expensive unless you have insurance. In India every city has FREE hospitals where anyone can get free treatment.No insurance.

Everywhere there are pockets of problems .Whatever you and I can do for these will be a step forward.

G'day Filomata,

Thank you for your question.

The best place to look for answers is in places like the World Bank, UNESCO and so forth.

Poverty is defined as the lack of essential services such as food, clothing, shelter and healthcare. The World Bank defines extreme poverty as living on less than US$ (PPP) 1 per day, and moderate poverty as less than $2 a day. It has been estimated that in 2001, 1.1 billion people had consumption levels below $1 a day and 2.7 billion lived on less than $2 a day. The proportion of the developing world's population living in extreme economic poverty has fallen from 28 percent in 1990 to 21 percent in 2001. Much of the improvement has occurred in East and South Asia. In Sub-Saharan Africa GDP/capita shrank with 14 percent and extreme poverty increased from 41 percent in 1981 to 46 percent in 2001. Other regions have seen little or no change. In the early 1990s the transition economies of Europe and Central Asia experienced a sharp drop in income. Poverty rates rose to 6 percent at the end of the decade before beginning to recede.

I have attached sources for your reference.

Regards

With no real offense meant as it relates to your spelling or grammer, and the fact that you're asking in the wrong category, I suggest that statistics regarding your Q are likely impossible to compose.

I'll offer that it is likely in the billions. AND unsatisfied is a nebulous, subjective, and relative word to describe the situation you ask about.

I live in the USA. I live at a level I consider UNSATISFACTORY, and often below "Poverty" level standards,,,but I count myself fortunate that NEEDS at a subsistence level are avilable to me, usually through "Social Services"

Many occupants of various countries have NO support systems available,,,as I do,,, and swallowing my dissapointments and egos may not fill my belly, but many in the world don't even have that option.

NEED implies cannot live without it. Human beings who do not get their needs met DIE.

Looking at children alone, 10.5 million die each year because their needs are not met. This is very close to the number of people who will die from tobacco related causes.

The issue is not just meeting needs, it is providing people with a safe and secure environment and enough education to prevent self destruction through Drug abuse (including tobacco) and AIDS and other health issues.

The brief reply is YES -- whenever the individual sector runs an institution, it's extra effective, extra rate potent, extra humane, extra geared up, and presents higher carrier than a central authority institution. Just seem at individual vs. state hospitals. And your query is a bit of disingenuous, on account that Christians as a organization already deliver extra money to charities than another organization. The quantity of persons with out wellness care is skewed, on account that it does no longer separate the quantity of persons who COULD have coverage however decide on NOT to, amongst different matters. The quantity may be skewed on account that it involves ILLEGAL extraterrestrial beings -- ILLEGAL extraterrestrial beings that we will have to NOT have got to furnish wellness deal with. Further kids of low-revenue mother and father can already get executive wellness care (aka Medicaid) if their low-functioning lazy-*** mother and father could simply move signal them up for it. I do not consider the federal government will have to be required to pay for healthcare for persons who quite simply do not wish to paintings (and there are tons of them). But permit me placed this again on YOU: Obama's plan requires governmental oversight of medical professionals to make sure they're giving exceptional care. Yet, Obama has NOT mentioned what number of executive employees it'll take to supervise a lot of these medical professionals, nor has there been any projection of the salaries of a lot of these new executive employees. Not to say the truth that medical professionals ALREADY HAVE oversight, via the AMA. So Obama's oversight is senseless spending, with an undetermined quantity with a purpose to rate taxpayers thousands of bucks each and every 12 months. Next, the tip-of-existence counseling isn't accurately addressed. Just WHO goes to do that counseling? And WHO goes to have be employed to make sure that the so-referred to as counselors are adhering to a strict code of ethics and no longer implementing executive-directed bias? Obama hasn't concept that via, both. And their salaries and running charges over time? And there may be a tax at the alleged "wealthy" in the event that they come to a decision to hold their individual wellness care -- there is not any approach that persons will move unpunished for no longer "identifying" governmental wellness care -- and that punishment will come within the type of punatorial expenses and taxes. That impedes private alternative and freedom. All in all -- the plan is a tremendously badly written one in order to have horrible ramifications on our nation with a purpose to final endlessly -- on account that it is rather infrequent that any executive coverage, as soon as placed into position, is ever rescinded. How lots of your peers' healthcare are YOU procuring? Why do not YOU move undertake a homeless character and pay for all his healthcare, eh? I have a sense you do not wholly comprehend how a lot this plan goes to rate you, or you are in the sort of low tax bracket that you do not care how a lot it will rate persons who make greater than you (they have got to be punished for good fortune!). You do not comprehend that the federal government can't, and was once certainly not meant to be, the supplier of all matters to each person. Look -- I do not care in case you quit your freedoms -- however don't impose upon mine. Obama = socialism at its worst, so much cheating and so much smug. ________________ The reply is sure, we ordinarily might. ________________ And any one can learn the plan for themselves (Lord is aware of WE will have to, on account that our representatives ordinarily may not earlier than they vote for it-- )
