what do you understand by human poverty ?

Answer 1

Human poverty is another type of poverty.

Answer 2

Human poverty is a concept that goes beyond the limited view of poverty as lack of income. It refers to the denial of political, social and economic opportunities to an individual to maintain a 'reasonable' standard of living.
