    About this ebook

    What is Poverty


    Poverty may be defined as a state or circumstance in which an individual does not possess the necessary supplies and financial resources to maintain a particular level of living. The causes and effects of poverty can vary greatly depending on the social, economic, and political context. There are two primary ways to evaluate poverty in the fields of statistics and economics: absolute poverty is a comparison of a person's income to the amount required to meet fundamental personal needs, such as food, clothing, and shelter; relative poverty is a measurement of the degree to which a person is unable to meet a minimum level of living standards in comparison to others experiencing the same situation at the same time and location. From one nation to another, or even from one community to another, the concept of relative poverty can be understood in a variety of ways.
