poverty has been defined as living with less than one or two dollars per day. i think poverty should be defined according to communities or country realities.like in my community some where in cameroon, yaounde one one who lives with less than two dollars per day is not poor because he can afford a kilo of rice and fish for him alone; in this case following the global definition of poverty he is not poor...instead i think we should say poverty is the situation where one can't afford to his immidiate needs such don't have the finanacial means to go to school, no shelter, nothing to eat and nothing to wear.
what do you think

I'm agreeing with you....inspite having 2dollars or even more can't even stop poverty...teach a man how to fish and not giving him fish everyday....because if every man will be able to work out for his daily bread....i think it is the best means to drive away povertyamong us

Its fine that the person living with 1.25-2$ per day doesnot fall under poverty line.But,in my sense,poverty is being poor not only in case of food, shelter and clothes,Poverty is being sick and not being able to see a doctor,not knowing how to read,not having a job,fear for the future, living one day at a time, powerlessness, lack of representation and freedom.

 Poverty may have several definitions but the only bitter truth is that poverty exists till the time the persons do not leave depending on others. A person creating a job for himself will of course eliminate poverty. Think deeply, the eyes of a hunger are always waiting for your grant. Lets encourage people to get involved and a desire to do so, then only poverty will be eliminated. Sometimes political or other factors may be hindrance to get job opportunities, if so then have revolutionary mind to get rid of that. Do Not Depend On Others For the Elimination Of Poverty!!!!!!!!
