More and more people are drawn towards the idea of thinking about such things in a more detailed manner so as to gain a deeper understanding of it. For that is the only way, we can actually move towards truly dealing with them, instead of being the bird that puts its most sincere efforts in trying to catch the horizon which always moves away from it. The reason behind this shift in people’s mentalities is the broad acknowledgment that poverty is about more than just low incomes. What lies at the heart of how most people understand ‘poverty’ are their observations of instances of lower than reasonably required consumption and inadequate living standards. Aspects of poor health, a shortened lifespan, limited access to education, knowledge and information, and powerlessness in various domains are also associations that this term has conjured up.
With so many different aspects branching out from this stem concept it is very fair to say, that you cannot be narrow minded whilst trying to analyze the seriousness of it, if, as it is evident, this analysis, in modern times, is done not only as a part of some academic discussion but takes the shape of a broader debate to improve and amend policies. Despite agreeing to the fact that ‘deprivations exist in multiple domains,’ and that these domains are often correlated, and thus, agreeing ultimately to the idea, that considering information from these aspects and not just income or consumption expenditures, is more useful in designing policies to combat poverty effectively, there has been a lot of disagreement over how
