Answers
Answer:
large share of the new poor will be concentrated in countries that are already struggling with high poverty rates, but middle-income countries will also be significantly affected. Almost half of the projected new poor (23 million) will be in Sub-Saharan Africa, with an additional 16 million in South Asia. The number of extreme poor in the poorest countries that are served by the World Bank’s International Development Association is projected to increase by 17 million. At the same time, 22 million of the projected new poor will be in middle-income countries. There are projected to be 10 million new extremely poor people in fragile and conflict-affected economies.
"We estimate that the pandemic could push about 49 million people into extreme poverty in 2020."
The Goverment can give : Free Food, Education and Clothes to the needy. But the poor ones should stop begging and start hardworking and trying to get jobs.
