A recent study shows that 10% of Colombian families live on less than $1.25 per day.
The study for the World Family Map 2014 looked at the many factors affecting families and their ability to raise their children effectively in 49 different countries.
One of the categories mentioned by the study, percentage of the population living in “absolute poverty,” showed a sad statistic for Colombia: 10% of its families live in this condition.
Absolute poverty is defined by the World Bank as less than $1.25 per day.
