Absolute poverty (4.00 / 4)

This is the fraction of children in OECD countries below the US poverty level. Most European countries (among the exceptions: UK) have lower ABSOLUTE poverty than the US, despite much lower average revenues.

Now if your standard is 'there are fewer poor than in India', feel free.

In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
