Food poverty in NYC affects many groups, including women, children, the elderly, the working class, and people with disabilities. Women make up a large portion of those relying on food assistance, with 20% living below the poverty level compared to 15% nationwide. Nearly half of households with children struggled to afford food, and over a quarter of children lived in poverty. Approximately one in six elderly residents receives food from aid programs, and 19% live in poverty. Over 20% of those accessing emergency food programs are employed, showing that the working class is also impacted. Around 30% of disabled adults live in poverty and rely on assistance programs.

The document compares indicators of development between the Philippines, an LEDC, and the United States, an MEDC, using data from sources like the CIA and UN. It summarizes statistics on education (such as literacy rates being higher in the US), health (like life expectancy being lower in the Philippines), environment, economic factors, population characteristics, and the status of women. Key differences highlighted are that the US generally has higher levels of development across most indicators.Mba Presentation

The document compares demographics and housing statistics between Wisconsin and the United States, finding that Wisconsin has slower population and home value growth. It projects Wisconsin's population will increase 850,000 by 2030, becoming older and more racially diverse. Most building permits are for single-family homes in metropolitan areas. Affordable housing is needed as alternatives like traditional neighborhoods, cottage housing, and true mixed-use developments are not common in Wisconsin. Questions are raised about whether the demand and desired housing options are being met.Ali presentation

The United States provides food aid to developing countries through five programs to help the 925 million people suffering from malnutrition. It supplies aid as program food, project food, and emergency food. The U.S. is the largest contributor and has committed to donating a minimum of 2.5 million metric tons annually, with Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia receiving over 60% of aid. However, problems exist with the delivery of food aid and prioritizing recipient countries.Topical research project

Fair trade aims to address issues of hunger and poverty among farmers by creating direct communication between producers and consumers. It ensures farmers receive a fair price for their products and have more involvement in the market. Three main issues exacerbating hunger are rising food prices, the global financial crisis, and increasing crop failures due to climate change. Fair trade could help by providing stability for farmers during economic difficulties and allowing them to better withstand effects of crop loss. The document argues fair trade is needed to help farmers survive and developing countries become more productive food producers.USaid.kharvey

The document discusses US food aid and its impact on hunger in developing nations. It notes that while the US provides over half of global food aid, it is still failing to meet UN targets of 0.7% of GNI. While US aid helps address immediate hunger needs, more needs to be done to support agricultural development and make trade accessible to reduce long-term hunger through self-sufficiency. The document argues that US aid needs reforms to have more lasting impacts on ending hunger globally.Activ presentation

- An analysis of federal data found that approximately 16 million American adults lived in food insecure households with at least one person employed between 2013-2015, showing many Americans struggle with hunger despite having a job.
- The states with the highest numbers of food insecure households with employed adults included California, Texas, New York, and Florida. States with higher minimum wages generally had lower rates of food insecurity among working people.
- Factors contributing to the "working hungry" epidemic include stagnant wages, rising costs of living and education, and income and job volatility that causes people to frequently lose eligibility for assistance programs. This challenges stereotypes that food insecurity is due to laziness rather than structural economic problems.undefined

There are currently around 45 million uninsured Americans, representing 15% of the population. While this number decreased slightly from 2005-2007 due to increased government program coverage, the overall number of uninsured under 65 has been rising since 2000. Most of the uninsured come from lower-income households earning under $50,000 annually. The high cost of insurance premiums, lack of employer-provided coverage, and pre-existing conditions all contribute to many Americans lacking health insurance. States with the largest populations of uninsured residents include Texas, New Mexico, Florida, California, and Oklahoma.Using Community Gardens to Augment Food Security

It finds that over 90% of counties in Central Appalachia have higher rates of premature death, smoking, obesity, and child poverty compared to national averages. These disparities are linked to social determinants of health like low income, lack of education, and limited economic opportunities. While genetics and individual behaviors contribute to health outcomes, the data shows social and environmental factors play a major role.

However, these working households still struggle with food insecurity and making ends meet due to low incomes and expenses like housing, medical care, and education. Many work part-time or jobs that do not provide a living wage, resulting in 89% of these working households having annual incomes of $30,000 or less.

The document discusses malnutrition as a problem in the Philippines. Micronutrient malnutrition is prevalent not just in developing regions but also industrialized nations, affecting all age groups but most at risk are children and pregnant women. The Philippines loses billions in GDP due to vitamin and mineral deficiencies mainly from increased healthcare costs of undernutrition. Common deficiencies include iron, iodine, vitamin A and zinc. The government has implemented programs to address malnutrition but more efforts are still needed to reduce prevalence of deficiencies and their social and economic impacts in the country.Since the 1960s, the United States Government has de.docx

Since the 1960s, the United States Government has defined poverty in absolute terms. This makes poverty more easily measurable. The "absolute poverty line" is the threshold below which families or individuals are considered to be lacking the resources to meet the basic needs for healthy living; having insufficient income to provide the food, shelter and clothing needed to preserve health.A large percentage of the governments poverty measurements depend on the price of food.
"Relative poverty" can be defined as having significantly less access to income and wealth than other members of society. Therefore, the relative poverty rate can directly be linked to income inequality.Means relative poverty can decline if rich people lose a lot of money.
The current poverty measure was established in the 1960s and is now widely acknowledged to be outdated. It was based on research indicating that families spent about one-third of their incomes on food the official poverty level was set by multiplying food costs by three. Since then, the same figures have been updated annually for inflation but have otherwise remained unchanged.Yet food now comprises only one-seventh of an average familys expenses, while the costs of housing, child care, health care, and transportation have grown disproportionately. Most analysts agree that todays poverty thresholds are too low. And although there is no consensus about what constitutes a minimum but decent standard of living in the U.S., research consistently shows that, on average, families need an income of about twice the federal poverty level to meet their most basic needs.
Thirty-seven million Americans live below the official poverty line.One in eight Americans now lives in poverty.A family of four is considered poor if the familys income is below $21,027.One third of all Americans will experience poverty within a 13-year period. In that period, one in 10 Americans are poor for most of the time, and one in 20 are poor for 10 or more years.油
One in eight Americans -- approximately 37 million people -- now live below the federal poverty line of $19,971 for a family of four. (A woefully inadequate measure that is 42 years old and fails to account for basic necessities.) That's 4.9 million more people than in 2000 and the poverty rate for children is the highest of all age groups. Nearly 60 million people live just above the poverty line. Using the British standard of measurement, approximately 30 percent of Americans --and 40 percent of American children -- are living in poverty.
Eighteen percent of children are in poverty. 10.9 percent of working-age adults (between the ages of 16 and 64) are in poverty.9.7 percent of the elderly are in poverty. 13.8 percent of females and 11.1 percent of males were poor
The white non-Hispanic poverty rate is 8.2%. The poverty rate for African Americans is 24.5%. The poverty rate for Hispanics is 21.5%. The poverty rate for Asian Americans is 10.2%.

Wall art and wall patterns are not merely decorative elements, but powerful tools in shaping the identity, mood, and functionality of interior spaces. They serve as visual expressions of personality, culture, and creativity, transforming blank and lifeless walls into vibrant storytelling surfaces. Wall art, whether abstract, realistic, or symbolic, adds emotional depth and aesthetic richness to a room, while wall patterns contribute to structure, rhythm, and continuity in design. Together, they enhance the visual experience, making spaces feel more complete, welcoming, and engaging. In modern interior design, the thoughtful integration of wall art and patterns plays a crucial role in creating environments that are not only beautiful but also meaningful and memorable. As lifestyles evolve, so too does the art of wall decorencouraging innovation, sustainability, and personalized expression within our living and working spaces.Overview Well-Being and Creative Careers

際際滷s to support presentations and the publication of my book Well-Being and Creative Careers: What Makes You Happy Can Also Make You Sick, out in September 2025 with Intellect Books in the UK and worldwide, distributed in the US by The University of Chicago Press.
In this book and presentation, I investigate the systemic issues that make creative work both exhilarating and unsustainable. Drawing on extensive research and in-depth interviews with media professionals, the hidden downsides of doing what you love get documented, analyzing how workplace structures, high workloads, and perceived injustices contribute to mental and physical distress.
All of this is not just about whats broken; its about what can be done. The talk concludes with providing a roadmap for rethinking the culture of creative industries and offers strategies for balancing passion with sustainability.
With this book and presentation I hope to challenge us to imagine a healthier future for the labor of love that a creative career is.Ajanta Paintings: Study as a Source of History
