Poverty and hunger are among the most threatening socioeconomic epidemics attacking different sectors of the population. Among adults, they cause an inability to perform jobs and activities efficiently. The pain and suffering of children resulting from poverty and hunger are also significant, particularly when these lead to conditions such as stunting and wasting. Millions of people across the globe live in squalid conditions of poverty, hunger and disease. This pandemic poverty represents the world’s most pernicious and deadly scourge. Accordingly, it is appropriate to put “eradication of poverty and hunger” at the top of the Millennium Development Goals which were adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2000. To investigate and understand the causes of poverty and hunger and establish means to achieving progress on poverty eradication requires an extensive and accurate database of different socioeconomic indicators.
