Poverty level in the country

The number of the Georgians living below the poverty line has increased dramatically. According to last data of 2012, around half a million people in Georgia live below the poverty line. The existing minimum for a male person is 157 GEL monthly. The previous Rose administration has been feeding the population with promises for nine years, but in reality, nothing essential has changed for the better, on the contrary, the gap between the rich and poor further increased and now the new administration is obliged to take heavy burden on its shoulders.
