Purpose 2: To find out what is their living standard
In 2009, the median of the income per family is $17500. For the family under the poverty, they may receive less or half of the median ($17500/2=8250)(<8250).>
Food: $25 per meal per person
So, 25x2=50 50x30=1500 1500x4=6000
They need to pay $6000 for food supply.
Transportation: $10 per person per day
So, 10x30=300 300x4=1200
They need to pay $1200 for transportation fee.
Rent: $1500 ( For public housing estate)
They need to pay $1500 for the rent.
Extra expenses: $1000 (e.g.Electic, water)
6000+1200+1500+1000=9700>8000
So, this shows that without the financial help from GOV like CSSA, they cannot afford their lives for basic needs. Their living condition is really astounding. It is hard to imagine without the help of GOV, how would their live be!
A family consist of two bread-winners are really lucky! Some unattended old people may just rely on the financial help of CSSA, Old Age Allowance and some insignificant saving. If they are sick, they may just rely on the Free Wavier For Medical Services. They are deplorable!
On the contrast of the rich, there is really an enormous difference. No wonder we become the first in the Gene Coefficient of Asia counties.
