There are different views of poverty and how we measure poverty. We discuss about the difference between absolute, relative poverty, and other measurements of poverty. Absolute poverty is when people are suffering or those who are below the poverty line. They lack the basic needs, and they simply cannot afford service, food, shelter, and etc. The situation does not change overtime.
Relative poverty measures the people who can provide simple needs but they are still below the standard of living.
Quasi-relative measure includes the expenses for food, clothing, shelter, and utilities. Quasi-relative is more updated on changes in standard of living and adjusted for family size.
