BNS Samudra Avijan (USCGC Rush)arrives in Chittagong to join Bangladesh Navy fleet

According to World Bank it was 31.5% in 2010

31.5% is the figure for those under the "national" povery line.

As world Bank says:

"Poverty headcount ratio at national poverty lines (% of population)"

A country can set this anywhere and comparing between countries in this way is apples and oranges.

Thats why we need to standardise the measurement to be the same. The world Bank uses 1.90 PPP now giving a poverty rate of 43.7% for Bangladesh in 2010.

Poverty & Equity Data | Bangladesh | The World Bank

Our current is 21.5% if you use the $2 per day (nominal),

Looks way off. 2 dollars a day nominal per person is like 6 dollars PPP and you are saying that only 21.5% of Bangladeshis earn below that? Not jiving with all the international surveys conducted by organisations like World Bank etc.

So lets see the source you got these numbers and definitions from.

 

[Saurabh jindals]

Bangladesh's poverty line is greater than that of India. Because in our country not being able to afford 3 meals a day is considered poor.

In Bangladesh if you earn less than $2, you are considered poor. Our poverty population is 17.6%

Read this:
Internationally, an income of less than $1.90 per day per head of purchasing power parity is defined as extreme poverty. By this estimate, about 32.7% percent of Indians are extremely poor. Income-based poverty lines consider the bare minimum income to provide basic food requirements; it does not account for other essentials such as health care and education
Below Poverty Line (India) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And even if you say yours is 12.4%, compared to ours 17.6% and according to that certain someone who called us beggars, you aren't much better off than us. Thus, it also makes you guys beggars too.


Oie, Saffron betta aka RSS and BJP, Jamaat doesn't go around and kill off its minorities unlike your PM Modi.

Thats y so many Bangladeshi even risking there life out and crossing into india ?
I think you dont know but here these Bangladeshi are taking lowest jobs away from bhiaris at even lower prices still happy compare to living in BANGLADESH.

Bangladesh is India's 5th largest source of remittance. The pole vaulters come into Bangladesh from the other side.

Your 12.4% isn't national average, it uses the poverty line for every region, same as our 24.5%. Living costs and earning both are much lower than in the city.

Your 12.4% isn't national average

Uh yes it is. The World bank has vetted it, and is planning to use the method (MMRP) worldwide now. The sampling was countrywide, not just cities or certain states. Let's hope Bangladesh poverty number also may improve by becoming more accurate through this better method which World Bank is looking to bring worldwide (and even accepting a data break).

it uses the poverty line for every region, same as our 24.5%

You still have not given one source regarding your numbers. First you said its 21.5% under 2 dollar nominal (which is BS) and now the poverty rate is 24.5%. If you could provide where you are getting these numbers and definitions from, it would be much easier.

All I see from the World Bank is that Bangladesh national poverty rate is always much lower than the international standard whereas India's percentages are always within a few % of the international standard.

Apply brain !! do you know difference B/w Legal and ILLegal ? Its not that Indians are coming Bangladesh illegaly for pitty jobs. They come to do high expertise jobs whose talent you people not process Like in Infrastructure and Medical Field.
One of my Known relative is head of department of Dental department in bangladeshi Hospital.
I hope you understand how much India helping you. And I dont understand you you personally so Anti India when this is the only country you call it as neighboring Country.

So it is a retired Ship from US to save dumping cost !!

 

[Nilgiri]

Can use a new coat of paint for sure...a more navy like grey I hope.

 

[arp2041]

The Ship Looks DEADLY!!!!

I am sure if BD asks US, then US will be HAPPILY transfer it's decommissioned Carrier - USS Enterprise!!!

India should look to transfer INS Godaveri to BD after it is decommissioned. Heard its in process as its AIR Defences were put into Vikramaditya

Have a bigger HEART....c'mon....India is much better than that......why not soon to be decommissioned INS Viraat?

Why would Indians come to Bangladesh and why would we need them when we have such a big labour force and we aren't taking part into making of planes or space-crafts! They come for illegal trade thanks to local Chatra and Awami League leaders.

You still have not given one source regarding your numbers. First you said its 21.5% under 2 dollar nominal (which is BS) and now the poverty rate is 24.5%. If you could provide where you are getting these numbers and definitions from, it would be much easier.

It was a simple confusion between 21 and 24. 24% was from our minister, but the difference is, in Bangladesh all most all of population at least have 1 meal a day. Very few poor countries can say that.

Had you read my previous comment carefully you hadnt asked this qus. Still in brief You does have A big labour force but not Skill Force.

I did. Here's the thing, Indians don't come to Bangladesh to be a doctor, they go to US and Europe. Indians have involvement into crime along with the AL and Chatra League leaders, and this is from one of my relatives who is one of the highest ranked police officers and was stationed at Sylhet. Drugs into Bangladesh mostly comes from India, not Burma.

Not to forget to mention human trafficking with false promises about giving them better jobs but only making them work as slaves by threats and violence.

 

[bdslph]

We ain't that cheap that we need to buy over three decades decades old Indian stuff. If we want used stuff, we can go for US' or European.

INS Godaveri is a destroyer. Russian built. Has capabilities that even the best of BD ships cant match. And as a token of friendship India can give it to BD.
Atleast Coast Guard ships is the one u will get from USA or Europe for Begging. Beggars cannot be choosers.
As friends we want to share the best of things, but if u want to beg, pls cry to continue

the cutter is 1968 produced i am not happy it is very old ship

So this figure was given this year? or for 2014? I suppose its the national poverty line the minister is talking about.

From:

Country's poverty rate now 25.6%

"Food intake or direct calorie intake is used as the yardstick to measure poverty. If any person has a daily intake of less than 2,122 calories, he or she will be considered poor. Food intake less than 1,805 a day equates with ultra poor. Alongside food intake, BBS also used the Cost of Basic Needs (CBN) method. This assesses a person's access to eleven needs including food, education and clothing."

Its somewhat different from the World Bank measurement which is an international standard (but follows the same concept - though uses different weights).

Using one or the other has pros and cons, but to compare between countries.....one can only use the international method (given the differences between countries in measuring under the national poverty line).

Thats where Bangladesh ends up having double the poverty % of India. But the good news is that both countries are both drastically reducing their poverty rates each year.
