Concept information
Preferred term
housing and homelessness in developing nations
Definition
- At the turn of the twenty-first century, the number of homeless people worldwide was estimated as between 100 million and 1 billion—an estimate whose wide range reflects varying definitions of homelessness. Indeed, the current definitions and categories that are applied in industrialized countries often do not adequately capture the situations of chronically homeless people or squatters in developing countries.
