Question

Give the difference between absolute and relative poverty.

Answer 1

BASIS	ABSOLUTE POVERTY	RELATIVE POVERTY
Biological Needs	any person who is not in a position to meet the most basic commodities to sustain life like food, shelter, and clothing is considered to experiencing extreme poverty	relative poverty does not classify biological needs in its definition but focuses on the comparison between other people within the environment.
Income Levels	People who have a considerable amount of income can meet their basic commodities	the income level is highly considered in absolute poverty, but it is not considered under the relative poverty measurement.
Poverty Alleviation Programs	Different international bodies and government of various countries have developed policies and measures to ensure that absolute poverty is eradicated around the world	there are no measures and policies implemented to alleviate relative poverty.
Quality of Life	Here quality of life is better	Quality of life is poor
Ability to change	can be eradicated	cannot be eradicated
