THE IMPACT OF
Exploring the Effects
One of the biggest world issue
POVERTY

2. Poverty
Brief definition of
Poverty has far-reaching consequences affecting
individuals, communities, and societies.
Poverty is a state where people or communities lack the
resources to meet a minimum standard of living.
This can include a lack of financial resources, basic healthcare
and education, clean drinking water, and infrastructure.
The Impact of Poverty

3. Poverty is a condition where a person or community lacks the financial
resources and essentials to enjoy a minimum standard of living. This means
they may not have enough income to meet basic needs such as food, clean
water, shelter, clothing, healthcare, and education.
There are two common types:
Absolute poverty – when people cannot meet basic life needs (like food
or shelter).
Relative poverty – when people have much less income compared to
others in their society.

4. Definition of Poverty According to NEDA Philippines
According to the National Economic and Development
Authority (NEDA), poverty is not just about low income—it is
a multidimensional issue that involves lack of access to:
• Basic needs (food, education, health services)
• Opportunities for productive employment
• Decent living conditions
• Social inclusion and participation
NEDA defines poverty as a condition wherein the income of
individuals or families is not sufficient to meet the basic
food and non-food requirements, measured by the poverty
threshold set by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
Beyond income, poverty also includes vulnerability, lack of
education, and limited access to essential services.

5. "No Poverty" is the first goal (Goal 1) of the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).
Its aim is to end poverty in all its forms everywhere by 2030.
Relevance:
Poverty affects access to education, health, clean water, and job
opportunities.
Ending poverty helps people live with dignity, security, and hope for a
better future.
Without reducing poverty, other SDGs like good health (Goal 3), quality
education (Goal 4), and reduced inequalities (Goal 10) are harder to
achieve.
Reducing poverty builds more peaceful, fair, and resilient societies.
