poverty is nothing but lack of basic standards of living. it might include less money or salary say 1$ per day, less education, improper health care, sanitation etc. these all factors contribute to underdevelopment.

Poverty is not a synonym of underdevelopment, nor is a cause. It is a mere symptom of underdevelopment. Underdevelopment is a state in the economy when the resources available are not used to their maximum potential.

Symptoms of underdevelopment also include social backwardness, literacy levels, lack of job opportunities, housing, hygiene and drinking water.
