Poverty is not having enough material possessions or income for a person's needs. Poverty may include social, economic, and political elements. Absolute poverty is fundamentally the total lack of means of provision of basic necessities like food, clothing, and shelter.

On the other hand, relative poverty occurs when a person can't meet a minimum level of living standards, compared to others in the same time and place. For example, a person who cannot afford to eat 3 times a day, whereas the majority of the inhabitants of that area eat 3 times a day. When people are unable to obtain a minimum of 2400 calories per person in a day in rural areas and 2100 calories per person per day in urban areas, they are categorized as living below the poverty line. 

Governments and non-governmental organizations try to reduce poverty by providing basic needs to people who are unable to earn a sufficient income can be hampered by constraints on the government's ability to deliver services, such as corruption, tax avoidance, debt and loan conditionalities, and by the brain drain of health care and educational professionals. Strategies of increasing income to make basic needs more affordable typically include welfare, economic freedoms, and providing financial services.

During the exams, students will be expected to answer MCQs, short answer, and essay questions on poverty. This means a minimum of at least the fundamentals in this topic should be mastered. Hence, for more quizzes, click here.
