Estimate the percentage of daily income that those in extreme poverty spend on food.

Identify in which decade extreme poverty declined the fastest.

Using evidence from the infographic, explain one way it clearly demonstrates to the audience how they can help end poverty.

Approximately 60 % (allow 55 % to 65 %).

2000–2010 or the 2000s (do not accept 2000)

Award [1] for valid evidence from the infographic that is linked to poverty and [1] for linking how the audience’s help or action can be used to end poverty.

The audience can be individuals, groups (such as charities) or governments.

For example:
The infographic shows that change could be achieved by alleviating extreme hunger [1] and individuals could donate money to provide food/improve agriculture [1].

Or

The infographic shows that change could be achieved by improving sanitation [1] and charities could provide clean water so that fewer people are sick and can work to provide money/food for their families [1].

Or

On the infographic, the prominent extended hand is asking for money [1] governments can use this for job creation, which will provide people with better wages [1].

Award [1] for each link identified and a further [1] for each relevant development/explanation point, up to a maximum of [5]. Maximum [4] if only one aspect is addressed Award the final [1] for an overall appraisal that weighs up the strengths/limitations of the links shown in the infographic.

The links between gender and poverty can be seen in a positive fashion (eg therole of women in the alleviation of poverty through education) or negative fashion (eg the stereotyped view of women/men in the workforce).

There are aspects of the infographic that link gender and poverty

• The job creation aspect has a focus on the role of men in the pictogram.
• The help through government programs examines the transfer to mothers who focus on education.
• Maternal mortality.

There are other aspects of the infographic that link poverty to alternative factors:

• Urban/rural
• Conflict
• The distribution of wealth in society
• The role of access to basic services.

For example:

The infographic recognizes that women have a central part in the delivery of government programmes [1] where cash can be provided to mothers [1] who use the money to provide education for their children [1]. The education of the most vulnerable enables them to engage in income generating activities [1] that that takes them out of poverty [1].

The job creation bar graph uses a symbol that depicts only men [1], implying strongly that only men make up the work force [1] and, hence, that it is only men that can contribute to alleviating poverty [1]. Furthermore, women are depicted as the primary caregivers of children [1], reinforcing gender stereotypes as non-providers of income [1]. Overall, however, the links are not very strong and it does not seem to be the central message of the infographic [1].
