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.
