Preferred term

income poverty  

Definition

  • DESPITE THE LACK OF international consensus regarding definitions of poverty, a focus on income poverty clearly restricts the discussion to economic well-being or the command over economic resources. In the narrower sense, then, income poverty refers to economic deprivation. [Source: Encyclopedia of World Poverty; Income Poverty]
