To raise awareness of poverty, some media and social organizations called upon the public to spend a day living off 6.3 yuan, or slightly over $1, on Oct 17, the International Day for the *Eradication of Poverty. In China, residents with an annual net income of 2,300 yuan are categorized as people under the poverty line, which means they have an average daily budget of 6.3 yuan. According to the International Labor Organization, people who earn less than $1.25 per day fall into the “extreme working poor” category.
