The first sustainable development goal aims to eradicate extreme poverty. How does the UN currently measures the extreme poverty ?
1) People who are unemployed and unable to access welfare benefits from the state
2) People who live on less than $5 a day
3) People who claim to be living in poverty
4) People who live on less than $1.25 a day
The correct answer is People who live on less than $1.25 a day .
As UN suggested, extreme poverty is “currently measured as people living on less than US $1.25 a day”, although that is unlikely to be the case for long.
The Sustainable Development Goals: 17 goals and 169 targets agreed by all UN member states with the aim to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.
