Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What is the difference between absolute and relative poverty?

    Model answer

    Absolute poverty means lacking the basics needed to survive, such as food, clean water and shelter. Relative poverty means having far less than most people in your own society. Relative poverty exists even in wealthy countries.

  2. 2

    What is exploitation?

    Model answer

    Exploitation is using someone unfairly for your own gain. Employers who pay far less than a job is worth are exploiting their workers.

  3. 3

    What does the Bible say about paying workers fairly?

    Model answer

    Leviticus 19:13 forbids holding back the wages of a hired worker overnight. James 5:4 warns the rich that the unpaid wages of their harvesters cry out against them.

  4. 4

    What is the difference between the National Living Wage and the real Living Wage?

    Model answer

    The National Living Wage is the legal minimum hourly rate for adult workers, set by the government. The real Living Wage is a higher voluntary rate calculated from the actual cost of living.

  5. 5

    What is Fairtrade?

    Model answer

    Fairtrade is a scheme guaranteeing producers in poorer countries a minimum price for their goods. Buyers also pay a premium that the community spends on projects such as schools or wells.

  6. 6

    What is usury?

    Model answer

    Usury is lending money at interest, especially at an unfairly high rate. Usury is condemned in the Bible and forbidden in Islam.
