How more likely are you to get sick in poverty then in average lifestyle?

Because in poverty your food supply is very, very low, so your immune system isn't working as well as someone who has enough food. When your immune system is low, you are more prone to disease. Plus if you're poverty-stricken, sometimes you have to eat old food or food that's gone bad already (YUCK!).


What is a difference between relative and absolute poverty?

Absolute Poverty is when people do not have enough money to meet the basic threshold that is needed for survival. People fall below this line and do not have enough money to buy food, shelter, clothing etc. that is needed for survival. Relative Poverty is when people are poor when compared to others around them, but may still have enough money to survive. It is based on the cultural environment around them, not on a basic amount necessary for all humans to survive. According to relative poverty, if you live in an expensive neighborhood, and you have everything you need to get by, but do not own luxurious things, you could still be said to be in poverty when compared to the people around you, even though you have everything you need. Relative poverty changes more often and adjusts to the changes in society (food and housing becoming more expensive in certain areas, more jobs etc.) whereas absolute poverty stays the same, and this could be problematic for absolute poverty, when comparing neighborhoods that differ, and when you compare cross-nationally.

What did seebohm rowntree do?

He set out to prove that the percentage set by the government of poverty was incorrect. He went round, with his team, and found out for himself the amount of people in poverty in York. He divised a poverty line (similar to Charles Booth) and used that to determine whether someone was in poverty or not. Rowntree also divded the poverty into two groups, Primary and Secondary. Primary poverty was where you couldn't live no matter how hard you try you could not be a healthy family, due to lack of money. Secondary was someone who was poor but, by the skin of their teth, was able to survive and be healthy. Hope this helped!
