At the same time, augmenting these well-known results with the use of relative poverty lines offers two important additional pieces of information. First, as many as slightly more than one half of those living under a dollar-a-day in the mid-2000s also happen to be relatively poor (using the 60% of median threshold). Secondly, in addition to the 25% of the developing world living on less than a dollar-a-day, an additional 8% of the developing world were not absolute poor, but were relatively poor (again, using the 60% threshold).
