 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.
 Poverty Line
• 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 affector.
