What were the causes of poverty in england during the 1800's?

There are two slightly different U.S. federal poverty measures: poverty thresholds, based on the thrifty food plan by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and poverty guidelines, a simplification of the poverty thresholds used to determine eligibility for a number of programs. The poverty thresholds are established after the year is over, based on the Current Population Survey from March of the current year. For example, the 1998 poverty threshold, which reflects the 1998 calendar year, was calculated by the 1999 March Current Population Survey. Until it is calculated, the poverty threshold is merely an estimate. Poverty thresholds are used mainly for statistical purposes and research, such as preparing estimates of the number of Americans in poverty each year.

Poverty guidelines are issued at the beginning of each year, generally in February or March, and are used to determine eligibility for poverty programs such as the Oregon Health Plan. In most cases, guidelines and thresholds can be used interchangeably, except when precision is needed for administrative or legislative purposes. When people talk about the federal poverty level, or federal poverty line, they are usually referring to guidelines, unless it is in a research-oriented context. It is always good to check which is being used.

The quote is from the final chapter ("Conclusion") of Thoreau's Walden. The full paragraph is too long to quote but enough context is in this excerpt. "However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace. The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any. Maybe they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving. Most think that they are above being supported by the town; but it oftener happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means, which should be more disreputable. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts."

The International Poverty Line was a number decided on by the World Bank during their study on poverty in 1985. They wanted a number to measure the number of people living in extreme poverty. To do this, they documented each country's individual standards for poverty and converted the number to dollars. This amount came to between $275 and $370 per year, or around $1 a day, leading to the name "the dollar-a-day line." The number was revised to $1.08 PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) in 1993. This is only an estimated number since PPP varies greatly depending on the value of currency and cost of goods and services in a country.

If you cannot afford to send a letter to each bureau (certified mail, return reciept); which could cost a total of $65.00 then I recomment you just simply tell them to stop contacting you. You have the legal right to tell them to no longer call your home. You can also enroll in a Debt Management Program with a credit counseling organization. This will allow you to pay your debts off for as little as 2% percent of the debt owed. There is a company that I highly reccoment in Charlotte, NC called "Alliance Credit Counseling, Org". There phone is: 704-341-1010. This program have contracts with most of the creditors out there, including medical, that will allow you to make a small payment of $10.00 per medical debt for each month. But, you have to make sure to make on-time monthly payments. This might only take you anywhere from 3-5 years, depending on the amount of debt that you owe. I hope this helps you.
