| Absolute Poverty |
Relative Poverty |
| Any person not in a position to obtain essential commodities like food, shelter and clothing are said to experience absolute poverty | Relative poverty does not concentrate on biological needs but rather makes a comparison between two people in the environment |
| Income Level is considered in Absolute Poverty | It is not considered when measuring relative poverty as a person will still be considered poor despite meeting his.her basic needs |
| Absolute poverty, however, does not include a broader quality of life issues or the overall level of inequality in society. What the concept fails to recognize is that individuals also have important social and cultural needs. | Although people living in relative poverty are to an extent well-off compared to those living in absolute poverty, they still cannot afford the same standard of life as other people in society. |
| Measured using Poverty Line | Measured Using the Gini-Coefficient and Lorenzo Curve |
| It is not possible to completely eradicate absolute | There is a small margin of success where its eradication is concerned |
| Quality of life is poor | Quality of life is marginally better as those living under relative poverty have access to health care services |
