Abstract
The most widely held definition of poverty economically is the situation of an individual
eaming less than $1.90 a day. The World Bank improves this definition and extends it
beyond monetary definitions to include standards of living and basic needs. According tr the
Britannica Encyclopaedia, poverty has also been associated to high levels of disorderly
behaviour, improvidence, and inability to work. Overtime, the definition of poverty has
continually been built up to include other metrics. Despite povetty being a worldwide issue,
there is no general cause for it (Vale, 2018). There are varied causes ofpovetty that are
country-specific and period-specific.
