Answers
What are the 5 Dimensions of Poverty?
Low household income

Lack of health insurance
Concentrated spatial poverty
Unemployment
The nature of ‘poverty’ is examined in relation to a model of causes affecting the welfare of a community. It is suggested that one can operationally distinguish four major dimensions of poverty, namely economic, social, political and legal poverty; and that one might in addition be able to characterise three further aspects, namely psychological, ideological and conceptual poverty. It is proposed that at least the first four aspects should be distinguished and explicitly named, thereby specifically characterising these different dimensions of ‘poverty’; and that this would serve a useful purpose in clarifying the nature of the problems faced by the community considered.
Answer:
The various dimensions of poverty are:
1) It means hunger and shelter.
2) It is a situation in which parents are not able to send their children to schools.
3) It is a situation where sick people cannot afford treatment.
4) It means lack of safe drinking water and sanitation facilities.
5) It means lack of a regular job at minimum decent level.
