Aims to:
(1) Absolute Poverty: (Destitution) It refers to the state of severe deprivation of basic human needs.
(2) Relative Poverty: It is defined contextually as Economic inequality in location or society in which
people live.
Poverty is the other economic problem facing most of the nations in the world. There is no unique
definition of poverty. This is based on the national definition as well as the international standards of
US $1/day/person and US $2/day/person. Lately poverty definition is changed to US $4/day/person.
It is often used to represent income distribution, where it shows for the bottom x% of households,
what percentage y% of the total income they have. The percentage of households is plotted on the x-
axis, the percentage of income on the y-axis.

types of poverty
• It can also be used to show distribution of assets. In such use, many economists consider it to be a
measure of social inequality. It was developed by Max O. Lorenz in 1905 for representing inequality of
the wealth distribution.
• The concept is useful in describing inequality among the size of individuals in ecology, and in studies
of biodiversity, where cumulative proportion of species is plotted against cumulative proportion of
individuals. It is also useful in business modeling.
• E.g. In consumer finance, to measure the actual delinquency Y% of the X% of people with worst
predicted risk scores.

poverty line
The poverty threshold or poverty line is the minimum level of income deemed adequate in a given country.
In practice, like the definition of poverty, the official or common understanding of the poverty line is
significantly higher in developed countries than in developing countries.
The common international poverty line has in the past been roughly $1 a day. In 2008, the World Bank came
out with a revised figure of $1.25 at 2005 purchasing-power parity.
Determining the poverty line is usually done by finding the total cost of all the essential resources that an
average human adult consumes in one year.
The largest of these expenses is typically the rent required to live in an apartment, so historically, economists
have paid particular attention to the real estate market and housing prices as a strong poverty line effector.

Characteristics of Poverty
Effects of poverty also be causes and creating a "Poverty cycle" operating across multiple levels, individual, national, global.
(1) Health: one third of deaths are due to poverty related causes.. Those living in poverty suffer from life expectancy.
According to the World Health Organization, hunger and malnutrition are the single gravest threats to the world's public
health and malnutrition is by far the biggest contributor to child mortality, present in half of all cases.
Almost 90% of maternal deaths during childbirth occur in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, compared to less than 1% in the
developed world.
(2) Hunger: Rises in the living cost making poor people less able to afford items. Poor people spend most of the portion of
their budget on to food than richer person.
(3) Education: Poor children are suffering from hunger, irritability, headache, viral infection, colds. It is safe to state that
children who live at or below the poverty level will have far less success educationally than children who live above the
poverty line. Poor children have a great deal less healthcare and this ultimately results in many absences from the academic
year.
Additionally, poor children are much more likely to suffer from hunger, fatigue, irritability, headaches, ear infections, flu, and
colds. These illnesses could potentially restrict a child or student's focus and concentration.
LACK OF EDUCATION
This is the first major issue that the Philippine government should resolve but
somehow it is recently improving. The quality of Philippine education has declined
a few years ago due to poor results from standard entrance tests conducted among
elementary and secondary students, as well as the tertiary levels.
LACK OF EDUCATION
The results were way below the target mean score. High dropout rates, a high number of repeaters, low passing
grades, lack of particular language skills, failure to adequately respond and address the needs of people with
special needs, overcrowded classrooms, and poor teacher performances, have greatly affected the quality of
education in the Philippines.

Lack of education has serious effects on everyone, not only people who are under-educated, People who lack
education have trouble getting ahead in life, have worse health, and are poorer than the well-educated. Major
effects of lack of education include poor health, lack of a voice, shorter lifespan, unemployment, exploitation,
and gender inequality. For so many people, education is an escape route from poverty in the Philippines. In
places like the Philippines, has clearly not been the case, as millions of Filipinos find the education route
blocked. and thus the lack of education causes poverty,

financial crisis, and change their lives
in the process A lack of education can be defined as a state where people have a below- average level of
common knowledge about basic things that they would urgently need in their daily life.For instance, this could
include basic knowledge in math, writing, spelling, etc. Especially in poor developing countries, educational
inequality is quite prevalent.
