Poverty is the state of one who lacks a certain amount of material possessions or money. absolute poverty or destitution refers to the deprivation of basic human needs, which commonly includes food, water, sanitation, clothing, shelter, health care and education. Relative poverty views poverty as socially defined and dependent on social context, hence relative poverty is a measure of income inequality. Rises in the costs of living making poor people less able to afford items. Poor people spend a greater portion of their budgets on food than richer people. As a result, poor households and those near the poverty threshold can be particularly vulnerable to increases in food prices.
For children with low resources, the risk factors are
similar to others such as juvenile delinquency rates, higher levels of teenage
pregnancy, and the economic dependency upon their low income parent or
parents.Families and society who submit low levels of investment in the
education and development of less fortunate children end up with less favorable
results for the children who see a life of parental employment reduction and
low wages. Higher rates of early childbearing with all the connected risks to
family, health and well-being are major important issues to address since education
from preschool to high school are both identifiably meaningful in a life.
Poverty is hunger. Poverty is lack of shelter. Poverty is being sick Poverty is not having a
job, is fear for the future, living one day at a time. And not being able to
see a doctor. Poverty is not having access to school and not knowing how to
read. Poverty is not having a job, is fear for the future, living one day at a
time. Poverty is losing a child to illness brought about by unclean water.
Poverty is powerlessness, lack of representation and freedom. Poverty is a call
to action - for the poor and the wealthy alike - a call to change the world so
that many more may have enough to eat, adequate shelter, access to education
and health, protection from violence, and a voice in what happens in their
communities. Poverty is the state of being without, often associated with need,
hardship and lack of resources across a wide range of circumstances.

2. what are some of the outcomes of poverty in the world?
Poverty is a state of living with very little to no money, below what could be considered the minimum level of income security in a society. Poverty is a serious problem in societies and can result in various negative outcomes. five possible outcomes of poverty include committing crime, living in a abusive family setting, losing one's children to Child Protective Services, living with debilitating medical conditions, and if the poverty is extreme enough, homelessness or death.
The nation’s economic crisis has deeply affected the lives
of millions of Americans. Skyrocketing foreclosures and job layoffs have pulled
the rug out from under many families, particularly those living in low-income
communities. Deepening poverty is inextricably linked with rising levels of
homelessness and food insecurity/hunger for many Americans and children are
particularly affected by these conditions.
