Those looking for definitions of poverty are likely to find many, and even find specific poverty tests which are administered to determine statistics like world poverty or the number of children that are in an impoverished state. The term itself is somewhat slippery to define, and may have different meanings depending upon country of origin. It can usually be thought of as the state of lacking resources that would provide people with basic necessities, or that force people to go without certain needed things like three meals a day or shelter. Yet it ought to be understood that people can still have some of these things, like a roof over their heads, and yet not enough of other things, like food, money to seek medical treatment, or to purchase adequate clothing.

This problem is an ethical problem, what happens when people who work full-time to overcome the poverty line. Poor photos work for people who work every day and still can not do themselves or their families, the average needs.

Re: What is Poverty?

We can also say the poverty Is the state of having little or no money and few or no material possessions. Really It is the the lack of basic human needs, such as clean water, nutrition, health care, education, clothing and shelter.
It is equivalent to:
1 child dying every 4 seconds
15 children dying every minute
An Iraq-scale death toll every 18–43 days
Just under 8.1 million children dying every year
Really Its a big problem for our world.

Re: What is Poverty?

Poverty is the lack of having the financial basic needs for food, water and shelter. The health is no longer the priority.

Re: What is Poverty?

Poverty is remembering. It is remembering quitting school in junior high because "nice" children had been so cruel about my clothes and my smell. The attendance officer came. My mother told him I was pregnant. I wasn't, but she thought that I could get a job and help out. I had jobs off and on, but never long enough to learn anything. Mostly I remember being married. I was so young then. I am still young. For a time, we had all the things you have. There was a little house in another town, with hot water and everything. Then my husband lost his job. There was unemployment insurance for a while and what few jobs I could get. Soon, all our nice things were repossessed and we moved back here. I was pregnant then. This house didn't look so bad when we first moved in. Every week it gets worse. Nothing is ever fixed. We now had no money. There were a few odd jobs for my husband, but everything went for food then, as it does now. I don't know how we lived through three years and three babies, but we did. I'll tell you something, after the last baby I destroyed my marriage. It had been a good one, but could you keep on bringing children in this dirt? Did you ever think how much it costs for any kind of birth control? I knew my husband was leaving the day he left, but there were no goodbye between us. I hope he has been able to climb out of this mess somewhere. He never could hope with us to drag him down.

Re: What is Poverty?

In many countries, poverty can be defined only by income. Countries, counties or states may even set poverty lines. People living below these lines or just above would be considered poor, while living well above the line are not clear. While this may be a useful way to assess how to help those with little, there is considerable debate about where these lines should be used. When large changes in the economic structure of a country occurs, current valuations of poverty may change radically.
