Poverty declines at faster rate

[LaBong]

What's your point? BD has 81.30% of population living under 2 $ line while India stands at 75.60%.

It's like "Chaaluni bole chuch tor pichone keno chyada!".

By the way, just curious, do you think about India while getting laid as well?

Well seems like India just joined the club. We had been following these UNDP method of calculating poverty all along.

How can it be when the relevant UNDP method(MPI) was ratified by Amartya Sen in 2010 only? :/

 

[Al-zakir]

Lets not carried away because 30% is not an acceptable number. We need to work harder to reduce hunger and Bangladesh government should die in shame because they waste alot of money on politcal agena by ignoring those in dire need. Most Bangladeshi politician will most likely end up in hell because rulership comes with great responsibility.

I would not compare Bd with India.

Do not do bluff..

In which part of my post was i bluffing?

look at the tendular report... it precisely described the way of calculation poverty.. n it is 77% of the people of india live with less then 20 rupee or .5 dollar a day...

You are mixing up data from Tendulkar report and National Commission for Enterprises in the Unorganised Sector

n on another occasion it has been cited as 55%

You mean the MPI estimate

n said 1/3 of the poor people of earth live in india...

Probably Yes!

For your reference...

"According to a new Oxford University study, 55 percent of India’s population of 1.1 billion, or 645 million people, are living in poverty. Using a newly-developed index, the study found that about one-third of the world’s poor live in India.

The Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) has been developed by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) as a more precise and comprehensive means of estimating poverty levels."

Something to add

% of People who are MPI Poor
India - 55.4%
Bangladesh - 57.7%

Nope Mr. Sen came up with MPI methodology not a GOB official followed method. GOB follows UNDP methodology which india follows now by one of your posters.

Country Economic Reports & GDP Data | Global Finance

Why you are using 2008 figure... Try to live with present.... Based on the articles.... Poverty has been reduced from 40 to 30 percent from 2005 to 2010.... In the mean time poverty has increased in India by 10%.... by adding the two it will yield now people below poverty line is less in bd then India.... N it also demolish the mythical high standard of living...n pendular report exposed it by mention 77% of the people live with less then .5 dollar a day in India...

Which years data that MPI index was showing... if it is not 2010 it is of no value as poverty in bangladesh has reduced by this time and on the other hand it has increased in the case of india...

Even though in the index bangladesh is ahead of india even though it is only 1 position... but if you look at the intensity of MPI poverty you will see the difference... it is 53.5% for india and 50.4% for Bangladesh...

Combining all these accept 1 fact ... inquality between rich and poor is huge and increasing in India.... there are a certain block of rich people which has increaed the per capita gdp but average living standard is much lower... may be lowest in the south asia except afghanistan...

On the other hand look at pakistan and bangladesh... here the difference between rich and poor is not that huge... n peoples are coming out of poverty line quickly... so country is developing evenly unlike india where a certain groups are becoming super rich and most of the people are dirt poor and going below poverty line...

Per capita gdp of india is way higher than bangladesh , more than half your countrymen live in squalid conditions and then try to cross the border , getting shot. It will take to decades just to reach where we are now. So yeah , shut up and go grow some jute and rice because that's all you people are capable of doing

Here comes another whining Indian claiming a super rich India with a better per capita GDP of India than BD. GDP figures can go up or down by the exchange rate with the dollar, and this exchange rate depends upon factors unrelated to the scale of poverty in a country.

In most cases the rate depends upon the amount dollar a country's Reserve Bank holds at one moment. The reserve can also　go up and down depending upon the infusion or withdrawal of foreign money in the stock market of that country.

Do not you remember how the Rupee lost its steam and fell hard on the floor when the foreigners suddenly sold their stocks and withdrew money from India a few years back?

However, I must agree that Indian stock market is much more attractive to the foreigners than BD market. It is not because India has less number of poors. Rather, it is because India is a big market and it is advancing technologically and in manufacturing industries. BD is quite without such a base. However, its wealth is more equally distributed among the population. There is no poverty related suicide here.

You are wrong, Indians are coming to BD to get jobs. Check and you will see that Indians are poorer than even the people of sub-Saharan countries. We are not americans or europeans living in far away countries not to know what our neighbouring country is? Many of us visit India time to time. You cannot hide the truths from us.

You think, by producing some goody goody Bombay movies, where every happy body is singing and dancing, you can cheat our eyes? So, do not brag and do not lie. Better, you try to get rid of your Caste system and improve the living standard of all.

Our problem is one of our lady leaders is CHAPABAJ, and the other one is SHAJUGUJU, both are without essence. Yes, we should go after more equitable society irrespective of what the Indian Bench Mark is.

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

Kudos to Bangladesh.

 

[below_freezing]

We should not argue over whose horrendous poverty rate is even more horrendous. It is a waste of time and counterproductive. Instead, we should work harder to improve our own skills and contribute to poverty reduction everywhere, except the West and especially the US. Making any contribution to the US should be considered a crime against humanity.

 

[Omar1984]

Keep up the good work Bangladesh

 

[Roybot]

Whatever our Indian posters here brag, comparing to the livng standard of India, Bangladesh's living standard is much higher. A visitor to BD and India will see immediately the contrast between the two countries.

Millions of Indians are just dirt-poor, although I must admit India is far ahead in technology than Bangladesh. It amuses me to read posts by people like Abir, who regularly claim that west Bengal economy (or is it living standard?) is 4 times higher than Bangladesh.

These people are certainly the best students of RAW School of Propaganda Machine. This is why these paid guys can afford to spend hours every day to counter the posts sent by the Bangladeshis.

These Indians will even counter a BD claim that says earth is moving around the Sun and will come out with reference books to prove it to be incorrect. They are such a bunch of whining widows!

I have been to your country mate, stop lying seriously!

Those Indians who brag are from well off families of their countries who have no clue about condition of poor in their country. They go to English medium schools, have broadband and latest Intel based PCs and when they dont find anything else, just sit on PC and brag brag and brag to boost their ego.

BDesh better than India ? I have no clue about your country so no comments but congrats. I am not interested in my d*ck is 1 mm longer than yours, so Happy hating

PS : Oh Btw few yrs ago I happened to see an Afghan forum where afghans were discussing as to how their country was "THE BEST". You will understand about those indians if not yourself.

Of course, I should not say BD is any better in everything than India. However, the social indexes show we are doing a little better. But, the reality is we remain a poor country. India is also a poor country, however, it is a technologically advanced country. I have studied the development history of a few countries who have already developed.

Take the case of Japan. Before WWII, it was a terchnologically advanced, but a poor country. However, after the war it advanced more in technology, and succeeded in transforming their entire society from a poor to a rich one.

While India is moving towards becoming an advanced country, BD lacks at present the physical infrastructures on which to build an advanced society. However, I can also attest that since monetary capital is forming fast in BD, it will be a matter of time when it will be able to invest in inrastructure, too. When this happens, the development will take a faster pace than now. Anyway, BD is moving in the right direction.
