Question

discuss the relative deprivation approach to the understanding of poverty

Answer 1

There are two main approaches to understand poverty. One is ‘nutritional’ approach, and the other one is ‘relative deprivation’ approach. Nutritional approach measures poverty in terms of minimum income. This approach is adopted by most of the developing countries. Developed countries adopted the approach of relative deprivation to measure poverty, because deprivation to food is not the major problem there.

Relative deprivation approach is based on social inequality. It compares the situation of an individual or the group with the rest of society. It considers poverty as the deprivation of essential requirements such as clothing, food, housing, medical facilities and education. This approach is better than the nutritional approach because nutritional approach ignores essential non-food requirements for human living.

Answer 2

Poverty is disease which should be fought and feared by all the individuals in the society, it is an act where citizens in a given country can not fund for their basic needs to lack of financial resources.

Poverty can rather be prevented and avoided if the country gets organised and sets ways of curbing this menace brought about by poverty in our society. Most of the people of more than 60 per cent live below the poverty line.
