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.
