Question

The official definition of poverty, however, captures only a limited part of what poverty really means to
people. It is about a minimum subsistence level of living rather than a reasonable'level of living. Many
scholars advocate that we must broaden the concept into human poverty. A large number of people may
have been able to feed themselves, but do they have education? Or shelter? Or health care? Or job
security? Or self-confidence? Are they free from caste and gender discrimination? Is the practice of child
labour still common? Worldwide experience shows that with development, the definition of what
constitutes poverty also changes. Eradication of poverty is always a moving target. Hopefully we will be
able to provide the minimum "necessary" in terms of only income to all people by the end of the next
decade.
