Can unemployment lead to poverty?

Unemployment leads to poverty because without employment a person has no reliable source of income. Every person has certain needs and wants (this could be related to consumption etc.) without any income a person cannot fulfill his/her basic needs. Poverty is a situation in which a person is unable to satisfy his/her wants. Now employment may be denied to a person because : that person might not have basic skills needed to accomplish the task(illiteracy),Or because of ill health, or because of discrimination /social exclusion. These reasons are either causes/outcomes of poverty. So you see unemployment leads to poverty but poverty too leads to unemployment.

How is the poverty threshold related to the poverty rate?

Take a look at the book on Urban Poverty in the Global Southhttp://urb.im/blog/upgs which talks about how how countries define the poverty threshold and measure poverty has a large influence on poverty rates:"The use of inappropriate poverty definitions that understate and misrepresent urban poverty helps explain why so little attention has been given to urban poverty reduction by aid agencies and development banks.""Almost all official measurements of urban poverty are also made with no dialogue with those who live in poverty and who struggle to live with inadequate incomes. It is always the judgement of 'experts' that identifies those who are 'poor,'""Different criteria used for defining poverty in a given nation can show almost no urban poverty or 30 to 50 percent of the urban population in poverty. There are hidden influences and assumptions within poverty definitions that often help under-count who is identified as being poor"
