Question

With respect to the poverty line, where would the people who earn less than the minimum amount of income fall?

• A. On the poverty line
• B. Below the poverty line
• C. Above the poverty line
• D. They are not impacted by the income level

Answer 1

The correct option is B Below the poverty line

Poverty line represents the minimum level of income required to satisfy our basic needs like food, shelter, education, healthcare, and clothing.

People who earn more than the minimum amount of income are placed above the line. Similarly, people who are not able to earn more than the minimum level of income naturally fall below the poverty line.
