Social Definition of Poverty• Some people describe poverty as a lack of essential items needed for a
proper living…
• At the UN’s World Summit on Social Development, the ‘Copenhagen Declaration’ described poverty as “…a condition characterized by severe deprivation (lack) of basic human needs:
a) Foodb) Safe drinking waterc) Sanitation facilitiesd) Healthe) Shelterf) Education g) Access to Information
• When people are deprived of basic human needs they can be considered to be in poverty, regardless of their income.

Statistical Definition of Poverty• There are various numerically methods to measure and
quantify poverty, but two are simple enough and are often used to define poverty:
• I. Relative Poverty measurement
• II. Absolute Poverty measurement
• Both are based on income or consumption values making gathering information to compile statistics on poverty much easier.

Relative Poverty Measurement• The entire population is ranked in order of income
per capita (income per person)– The bottom 10% is considered ‘poor’ or ‘impoverished.’
• This works for country-wide measurements, but has drawbacks in global usage: – If, 10% relative poverty measurement was applied in a
global setting, both the U.S. and Africa would have the same 10% poverty rate• Even though the conditions of the poor in Africa are much
worse than poor conditions in the U.S.
• For this reason, absolute poverty measures are more often used to define poverty on a global scale.

Absolute Poverty Measurement• There is a set ‘poverty line’ for income and consumption amount
per year, based on the estimated necessities for proper living:• Food• Safe drinking water• Sanitation facilities• Health• Shelter• Education • Access to information • Other…
• The most commonly used definition of global poverty is the absolute poverty line set by the World Bank. • Poverty is set at an income of $1.25 a day or less
