Poverty problems, its definition and measurement aspects, constitute a broadly identified discussion. However, there are some widely recognized poverty definitions and statistics, but the detailed overview still remains not clearly visible. There are many economies where the poverty problems lie in the very centre of policy makers` strategies. Also there exist many international statistic databases where some poverty data are reviled. Studying them we can get a general idea about poverty problems that some countries have to deal with. The main aim of the paper is to present most current poverty statistics across nations, trying to identify "poverty islands" - some regions or countries where the problem reviles to be the most intensive. The authors run two separate analyses for low and high income countries. In the low income countries group there are 67 developing economies, and in the group of high income countries - 24 European countries. In the two country groups, the poverty is analyzed from the crucially different perspective. The concepts and measures applied both - in low and high income economies - differ significantly. The authors just try to identify changes in the magnitude of poverty in the two country groups
