What is the definition of poverty?

There is no common definition for poverty that is accepted by all countries and organisations. Generally poverty refers to material deprivation and the state of being deficient in means of subsistence. What is more useful in defining poverty is to look at different measurements of poverty which is used. For example, the United Nations use the Human Poverty Index to rate the poverty of a country. There is also the Multidimensional Poverty Index used by the World Bank. Another measurement or index used is the Human Development Index, as well as the Human Deprivation Index. To complicate this further some measurements also focus on one aspect or group, like the Gender Poverty Index, the Gender Development Index or the Water Poverty Index. All of this shows that defining poverty is extremely complex as there is still no agreement on what poverty is exactly.

There are 4 ways of measuring poverty Those are 1 Headcount index 2 Total poverty gap 3 average poverty gap and 4 normalized Poverty gap How are they useful in measuring poverty and is there any diffe?

You're really mixed up eh? Works like this. - Yp is absolute poverty (relative term meaning insufficient daily funds to meet basic human needs) - H is headcount, amount of people below poverty gap. - We use these two to measure a very large amount of values, APG being the most useless imo. - TPG: Total amount of daily income required to pull those in absolute poverty to the required minimum. Sum of (I don't know how to write sigma for you statisticians) (Yp-Yi) so the sum of the difference between each individual and the poverty gap -APG: TPG/N, so just the total poverty gap spread over the population, seems stupid to me. -NPG: APG/Yp so the average poverty gap normalized with the poverty gap, always gives a value between 0 and 1 so this is usefull to compare countries. - AIS: Average income shortfall, this ones usefull. TPG/H, spread over the poor rather than the entire population. Its how much, on average, each absolutely impoverished individual requires to escape to the minimum level of absolute poverty. -NIS: Normalized Income shortfall, AIS/Yp, again normalized to ease comparison. Theres also the oft used Foster0Greer-Thorbecke indexe, measurements of inequality among absolute poverty using CV or Gini concentration ratio and the human poverty index but those are all bitches to write out so look em up yourself.

Write a C plus plus program to sort the given set of elements using insertion sort?

template<class T> void insertion_sort(T A[], size_t size) { if( size<2 ) return; for( size_t index=1; index<size; ++index) { T value = A[index]; size_t gap = index; size_t left = index-1; while( gap!=0 && value<A[left] ) A[gap--]=A[left--]; A[gap]=value; } }

How can you calculate headcount index?

Take the amount of families below the poverty line and multiply it by how many people are in those families as the headcount index uses individuals not entire families to calculate to the index. Once you get the amount of individuals living in poverty you divide it by the total population. Ex: 2000 Families of 2 have an income less than the poverty line. 4000 Families of 2 have an income over the poverty line. 2000 Families of 4 have an income less than poverty line. 4000 Families of 4 have an income over the poverty line. First the number of individuals in poverty: (2000 * 2) + (2000 * 4) = (4000) + (8000) = 12,000 Then find the total population (2000 * 2) + ( 4000 * 2) + (2000 * 4) + (4000 *4) = 36,000 12,000 / 36,000 = 33.33% So the headcount here would show us that 1/3 of the total population is in poverty.
