Problem(s) with “Market Basket” approach to the poverty threshold include:
-
There is no adjustment for geographical differences in cost of living
-
There is no of consideration for different nutritional needs of different groups of people
-
The assumption that one-third of income will be spent on food by all families is a problem
-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. All of the aboveExplanation
The "Market Basket" approach to the poverty threshold has several problems. Firstly, it does not take into account the geographical differences in the cost of living. This means that the same poverty threshold is applied to all areas, regardless of the varying expenses in different regions. Secondly, the approach does not consider the different nutritional needs of different groups of people. Different individuals or families may require specific dietary requirements, and the "Market Basket" approach fails to account for this. Lastly, the assumption that one-third of income will be spent on food by all families is flawed. This assumption may not hold true for all families, as their spending patterns and priorities can vary. Therefore, all of the above reasons contribute to the problems with the "Market Basket" approach to the poverty threshold.Rate this question:

Relative poverty

Absolute poverty

Correct Answer
A. Relative povertyExplanation

It takes into account the relative deprivation and inequality within a society. This approach provides a more nuanced understanding of poverty as it considers the context and standards of living in a particular society. It helps identify individuals or groups who may not meet an absolute poverty threshold but still experience significant disadvantages and limitations compared to others in their society.Rate this question:

This means that the person does not have enough resources to meet their basic needs, such as food, shelter, and clothing. The concept of absolute poverty is not relative to any other standard or comparison, but rather focuses on the individual's lack of resources in relation to a specific poverty threshold.Rate this question:
