Being Poor Just Got HarderBangladesh has made begging illegal and intends to eliminate the practice from the streets of the impoverished country within five years.
Hundreds of thousands of people depend on begging to survive in Bangladesh, where 40 percent of the 144 million population earn less than a dollar a day.
"Anyone caught begging will be put in jail for a month. This includes people who pretend to be ill or use a disability to get money," said an official.
