A very high percentage of the homeless population are those that suffer from mental illness, another high percentage is women and children who have been overcome by situational poverty. And men who have been over come by situational poverty. God bless. Do some research and you will find a vast amount of information on the subject.

i think i understand your question a little.\nBeggers in any part of the country are hopeless and have no choice to make in their lives. It people who are generous who give enough money for organizations which can make a difference in people's lives. With people who do not care about the homeless and beggers, the world will never progress. Hopefully this answers your question. Take care\n\ntrisha

no, i have interviewed many homeless people for projects and what i noticed is that many of them are war vets, elderly  and mentally ill people, that were abadoned by their own families and government. in addition, a percentage of them don't want to work, they are lazy and passive, they could care less about getting a job. In fact there was one perticular lady who would stand in front of my local grocery store and beg for money,  the manager offered her a job as a cashier, but she declined she said she would make more begging, than working. i was stunned about how much she made and how she spends her money (drugs and alcohol).

I can't give you a completely up to date answer; however, I was there three years ago, traveling with people who had been there a few years before that.  According to my friends, there were FAR fewer homeless children than they had seen during their last visit.  It sounded like the government had been doing a good job getting the children into orphanages and such.  \nWe also visited an orphanage while we were there.  It was full of kids, and they looked happy and healthy, for the most part. \nThere were still kids on the street, but they were far fewer than there are in, say, India.  And I don't think some of them could have been too poorly off - I once offered a homeless child some bread (fresh, wrapped)...which he refused - he wanted money!  \n\nAs for how they come to be homeless...well, how do kids end up on the streets anywhere?  A bad family situation, an accident...I'm sure they all have a sad story. \nI can't tell you how they survive the winter, either...they must be able to find somewhere warm to go.  And some of them are probably very poor, but not homeless.  \nBut I do think that the situation is probably still improving there...at least, I hope it is!

I believe California edges out Canada by a couple million. Canada has just over 31 million, and California has almost 34 million.

Exactly...it's hard to say because people are always dying and new lives are always coming into the world.  I would say just over 6 billion.

Not to many, I would guess. People haven't lived in caves in quite some time, so probably it is limited to hermits and the horrible subspecies of Morlocks.\n\nBut if you mean "how many people live on the world," well then that is a different matter entirely.

Sure, why not. Giving a homeless person a job takes some reliability off the state/federal government! Hire two!

There are many people in need all around and it's not all that difficult to find them. Open your eyes and be sensitive to what people are doing and saying.\nI have found people in all the places you mentioned. I usually give to the Salvation Army - clothes, furniture, money but a couple of times I gave all kinds of stuff including a stroller and a Christmas Tree to the residents at the public housing project I worked at. I have given at school to help a sick child pay for treatment. There are always coat drives and food baskets as well as Angel Tree (through church) for the children of inmates at Christmas.\nI've given directly to homeless people in the form of a hot meal or blanket.\nThere's so much that any of us can do.
