I was reviewing your posts and your pages on poverty in USA. The poverty income in USA is defined as income inferior to U$S 350,00/month for a single person. According to you, this is equivalent to the 90th percentile of world income. Are those data adjusted for PPP (Purchase parity power?)
The criteria in Europe is less than 1/2 of the median income (they use median income or mean income?). Is this less than the USA criteria?
In the Third world we use US$2,00/day (poverty) and US$1,00/day (misery). Are those data adjusted for the dollar devaluation that occurs along time or are raw data?
