Definition

  • In the United States, poverty is a lingering problem, and it often seems as if nothing alleviates it to any significant degree. One key reason for the seeming ineffectiveness in dealing with poverty may be the tendency to use the wrong measurements to determine what poverty is and who is actually poor and who is not.
