Answer 1

This is recognized as living on less that $1.25 a day as defined by the World bank in 2008 and there are over 1 billion people living in this state. This level is decided by a lack of clean water, housing, food, health care and education. Some of the countries most beset by this issue include Africa, Afghanistan, and Haiti. Most things that other people take for granted, those living in extreme poverty must go without. People living in extreme poverty suffer much higher rates of infant and maternal mortality. 22,000 children around the world die every day in the poorest countries due to unchecked illness and succumbing to malnourishment. At this point every aspect of survival becomes a struggle. It is not simply a matter of going without health care to ensure that there is enough food in the house. It is instead going without reasonable amounts of anything at all and living a day by day existence.

Answer 2

Here in India there are lot of people who are suffering from poverty and many a times I have asked them that what poverty meant to them, they said it meant these things --

1)-You are short of food for all or part of the year, often eating only one meal per day, sometimes having to chose between stilling your child's hunger or your own, and sometimes being able to do neither.

2)-You can't save money. If a family member falls ill and you need money to see a doctor, or if the crop fails and you have nothing to eat, you have to borrow from a local moneylender and he will charge you soo much interest that the debt continues to mount and you never to free to it.

3)-You can't afford to send your children to school, if they do start school, you have to take them out again if the harvest is poor.

4)-You live in an unstable house, made with mud or thatch that you need to rebuild every two or three years, or after severe weather.

5)-You have no source of safe drinking water. You have to carry it a long way, and even then, it can make you I'll unless you boil it.

=> But extreme poverty is not only having unsatisfied material needs. It is often accompanied by a degrading state of powerlessness.

So this is all what I know about poverty.
