Poverty is a state or condition in which an individual or community lacks the financial resources and essentials for a basic standard of living. It is characterized by the inability to meet basic personal needs such as food, clothing, and shelter, and can have diverse environmental, social, economic, and political causes. Economists and statisticians typically measure it through absolute poverty, which assesses basic survival needs, and relative poverty, which reflects social inequality.
