Absolute Poverty

Absolute poverty is measured relative to a fixed standard of living; that is, an income threshold that is constant across time and countries. This notion of poverty allows counting the number of people who are destitute by a common global standard.

Relative Poverty

  • A government usually says a person is in poverty if they do not reach a certain level of income. You have a low income relative to others in a country. For example, a country might say if you earn less than 50% (in some countries 40%)  of the average income you are in poverty. We often call this being ‘below the poverty line’ as we are referring to the income line in the specific country

Limited access to healthcare services in remote areas exacerbates these health disparities, leading to higher hospitalizations for manageable conditions .
