One billion people live on less than $1 a day, the threshold defined by the international community as constituting extreme poverty, below which survival is questionable.
Within a trap, poverty begets poverty and hunger begets hunger. A number of studies at the level of individuals and households provide clear evidence that poverty and hunger in combination put into play mechanisms that cause both conditions to persist. Poverty and hunger inherited at birth, or resulting from unfortunate and unexpected events, can persist for years.
