World families

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

Gapminder's "Dollar Street" is their photo survey of families at different levels of wealth from various countries. Click on a family to see their home, the place they eat dinner, their stove, their bathroom door, their bed, etc.

The poorest may pay about 80% of their income for food - low in nutrition and little variety. Many dream of owning some goats or a better home. A relatively wealthy family in Mexico still pays about 30% of their income for food, but they have refrigeration and can store meat.

Visit the homes of families all over the world. Pictures speak volumes. The European mother below lives in a 1-bedroom house with her grandmother and her seven children.
