ESSAY: What do you think are the reasons why there are people suffering from poverty? Explain briefly.
Imagine someone living close to the poverty
line in a developing country. This person runs
a small business filtering and selling water.
Her daughter gets sick, and she has to sell her
filtering machine to pay for treatment. Now
she makes very little money cleaning fish for a
local fishing cooperative. Graph her income
today versus her income tomorrow before her
daughter got sick. Explain your assumptions
with labels on the graph. Then graph what
happens to the equilibrium after her daughter
gets sick. Hint: this is an example of a trap.
Describe the concept poverty line in detail
