Answer to Question 1

About half of the world's population lives in the 39 low-income economies, where most people engage in agricultural pursuits, reside in nonurban areas, and are impoverished. The World Bank identifies low-income economies as having a GNI per capita of 995 or less in 2009 . Low-income economies are primarily found in countries in Asia and Africa, where half of the world's population resides. In some of these nations, civil war is both a cause and a product of the poverty in which much of the population lives. Among those most affected by poverty in low-income economies are women and children. Many poor women worldwide also do not have access to commercial credit and have been trained only in traditionally female skills that produce wages. These factors have contributed to the global feminization of poverty, whereby women around the world tend to be more impoverished than men.
