I walked into a Mumbai slum 20+ years ago and recently checked on Streetview and other 360 image spots to see how it compared. Still there. How do those get categorise with regard to poverty? Or is/was the poverty-poverty the people sleeping in/around train stations?
The criteria for defining extreme poverty are not being adjusted properly.
For example, Grab/Uber rickshaw/tuk-tuk drivers in India may technically earn over $10 a day, but many of them remain homeless because the price of food and rent has risen, and they often support a lot of their family members who have no jobs.
They often sleep on their rickshaws and work more than 20 hours a day, seven days a week, relying on excessive amounts of caffeine and other substances to keep going.
Many of them sleep on their motorcycles or near them on the sidewalk.
