Different countries use different poverty lines because cost of living is different in different in different countries. The cost of living a decent life may be different in different countries because a country may be poor and the other country may be rich.
Most countries use 2 line corded phones. This simply means there are two different lines that can go to the same phone. Most companies now use cordless phones, but there are some who still use corded phones.
A wealth gap is the difference between rich and poor people. Scientists use this word to help them discuss the poverty in foreign countries. A wealth gap is the difference between rich and poor people. Scientists use this word to help them discuss the poverty in foreign countries.
Contour lines: These lines connect points of equal elevation on a map and help depict the shape of the land surface. Latitude and longitude lines: These lines form a grid on a map to establish the precise location of a point on Earth's surface. Borders: These lines define the boundaries between different countries, states, or regions on a map.

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.
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"
They all use it in the same way.
You live in poverty.
Because they use a different calendar.
Poverty is typically calculated using income thresholds that determine whether an individual or family has enough financial resources to meet basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing. In the United States, for example, the federal poverty line is established based on the size of the household and adjusted annually for inflation. Additional measures, like the Supplemental Poverty Measure, take into account expenses and resources beyond income, providing a more nuanced view of poverty. Various countries may use different methodologies, reflecting local economic conditions and social policies.
There a few countries that use "pesos" but they're all of different value.
That means that if two different scientists use SI units, they will use the SAME definition of the units, even if they live in different countries. In contrast, if they use "pounds" for example, this isn't the case, since different countries may use different definitions of pounds.
