美国人口普查局8月30日公布的数据显示,尽管2004年美国经济状况良好、就业机会增多,但是美国贫困人口仍然比2003年增加了110万,达到3700万人,占总人口的12.7%。这是美国贫困人口连续第四年出现增长。那么,美国贫困线的标准是什么呢?据了解,美国贫困线随着家庭人口的数量和组成不同而发生变化。例如,若一个四口之家去年年收入等于或低于19307美元,这个家庭就算是贫困家庭;对于两口之家来说,贫困线则是12334美元。我又接着查找中国贫困线的有关标准,以2002年价格衡量,850元/年和1200元/年分别为农村地区和城市地区的贫困线。如果按照城市1200元/年来计算的话,三口之家为3600元/年,这是人民币。如果按照美国的
According to the data released by the US Census Bureau on August 30, although the U.S. economy was good and employment opportunities increased in 2004, the U.S. poverty-stricken population still increased by 1.1 million over 2003 to 37 million or 12.7% of the total population. This is the fourth consecutive year in which the poor in the United States have seen growth. So, what is the standard of the U.S. poverty line? It is understood that the U.S. poverty line changes with the number and composition of the family population. For example, if a family of four had income equal to or lower than $ 19,307 last year, the family would be poor; for the family of two, the poverty line would be $ 12,334. I went on to look up the relevant standards for the poverty line in China. Measured in 2002 prices, 850 yuan / year and 1,200 yuan / year are the poverty lines in rural areas and urban areas respectively. If calculated according to the city 1200 yuan / year, the family of three is 3600 yuan / year, this is the RMB. If according to the United States
