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.

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"
