There is a wide broad definition of poverty, to specify it to one term would be impossible. According to Unesco, poverty is defined in absolute and relative terms. Absolute poverty measures the lack of basic requirement to satisfy our basic human needs. Such as, safe drinking water, food, health, education, information, clothing, shelter and access to services (Unesco, 2016). The other term relative poverty, defines poverty in the economic condition that people lack in order to maintain the standard living in the society. It focuses on the income and consumption aspect. But there is also a third perspective of poverty, which is the capability perspective. This is the lack of self-empowerment, the human development, not having the capability being able to take care of yourself due to lack of education (Unesco, 2016).
