Living on $10 to $20
The territory where the most people live on US$10-20 a day, when measured in purchasing power parity (PPP), is China. In China 26% of the population live on this much - that is 332 million people.
The regions of Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Eastern Asia have the highest percentages of people living on PPP US$10-20 a day. That is 36% in Eastern Europe, and 25% in both the Middle East and Eastern Asia.In both poor and rich regions low percentages of the population live on PPP US$10-20, for opposite reasons. In poor territories the wages needed to achieve this are unaffordable, in rich territories unacceptable.
