Here we leave you with a quiz on global poverty! Humans have four basic needs, which are food, water, shelter, and clothing. Though people need them, there are many countries in the world where a majority is lacking in some of the basic needs, which increases the level of poverty. Economic conditions and literacy levels have been noted as reasons for an increase in poverty levels. This quiz will add more insight to the topic.
