Excerpt:

En France, on est considéré pauvre quand on vit sous le seuil de pauvreté. Ce seuil de pauvreté est de 1015 euros par mois pour une personne seule, de 1523 euros par mois pour un couple sans enfants et de 2132 euros par mois pour une famille avec deux enfants. Aujourd'hui, 8,7 millions de Français vivent en-dessous du seuil de pauvreté.
