7. POVERTY LINE
1.Poverty line is usually calculated by finding the total cost
of all the essential resources that an average human adult
consumes in one year.
2 The largest of these expenses is typically the rent required
for accommodation, so historically, economists have paid
particular attention to the real estate market and
housing prices as a strong poverty line affect.

8. POVERTY IN INDIA
As India is one of the fastest-growing economies in 2018, poverty is on the
decline in the country, with close to 44 Indians escaping extreme poverty every
minute, as per the World Poverty Clock. India has been able to lift a significant
percentage of its population out of poverty, but many still live in it. India had 73
million people living in extreme poverty which makes up 5.5% of its total
population, according to the Brookings report. In May 2012, the World Bank
reviewed and proposed revisions to their poverty calculation methodology and
purchasing power parity basis for measuring poverty worldwide. It was a
minimal 3.6% in terms of percentage. As of 2020, the incidence of
multidimensional poverty has significantly reduced, declining from 54.7 percent
to 6 percent.

10. ASSAM POVERTY, GROWTH &
INEQUALITY
Assam is home to 31 million people, a third of whom are poor. While poverty levels
in Assam declined rapidly between 1994 and 2005,the state has since lagged
behind most other states in reducing poverty levels. The incidence of poverty in
Assam remains higher than the national average, with poverty levels being very
high in some parts in some parts of the State. Growth, which is driven mainly
by services, is among the lowest in the country. Consumption inequality, while
low relative to mainly by services, is among the lowest in the country.
Consumption inequality, while low relative to other Indian States, has been
increasing, especially in urban areas.
