This text show us how Ukrain economicly speaking, because we might have the idea of this country as a very poor one, but e relly isven if it has some poverty, it is also in the path of development, and certainly it's on the right way to acomplish it..
Ukrainians often think if themselves as poor people, but still, that is a very subjective concept, beause what is poor to them, isn't really poor, is just that other people have more incomes. Even though, incomes rates are used to measure poverty in developed countries, in countries as Ukrain, it is measured by consumption and expenditures.

The purpose of this text, is to inform us and give us a wide view to what the economic siuation of Ukrain really is, and to show us that people in this country isn't as poor as they think they are, that they are worried about not having certain luxuries and not about suplying basic needs to people that are really poor. Besides this country actually has a very high conomic growth rate, it has reuced it's poverty 50 percnt in the last years, and it's growing in a very accelerated way, like 7 percent anually.

I think of this text s a very iteresting one because it is also showing what some Ukrainians that actually can help, are doing it, because shoing the level of poverty in the country allows us to see also how it is improving; for example Muhammed Yunus, a very well known economist, who studied in the United States of America, came back to his country and started giving small loans of money to very poor people that had been denied to have these loans, by the banks; and they have actually shown to be very usefull, because they have started their own bussinesses and started to see their incomes grow.

The conclusion is that Ukranians who have means, instead of worring about increasing their assets, just to have more and more innecesary luxuries, should be really doing something to help the really poor people in their country, that don't have basic needs to survive, and should follow the example of Muhammed Yunus, someone who did something and marked the difference.
