Question

poverty line is measured by calorie criterion

Answer 1

The poverty line is measured mainly based on the calorie consumption.

The consumption of the calories is 2100 per day for urban population and 2400 calories per day for rural population.

The difference is seen because the village people require more calories for the physical activities they perform.

If a person has money to buy the required amount of calories, then he or she is considered to be above poverty line.
