What to Focus On

  • Poverty means inability to meet basic needs.
  • Poverty line separates poor from non-poor.
  • Head count gives number of poor; head count ratio gives percentage of poor.

  • Chronic poor = always poor + usually poor.
  • Transient poor = churning poor + occasionally poor.
  • Churning poor have fluctuating income.

  • Absolute poverty is based on minimum consumption.
  • Relative poverty is based on comparison.
  • Absolute poverty is important for measuring poor people in a country.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Poverty line means the same thing as poverty itself.

Rural poverty line should be higher than urban poverty line because rural people need more calories.

Chronic poor and transient poor are the same group of poor people.
