2. Poverty Concept and Definitions
Narrow vs Broader Definitions:
Nolan and Whelan define poverty in terms of the inability to participate in society
(which is broader than more ‘absolute’ definitions confined to subsistence needs),
but emphasize that what is distinctive is the ‘inability to participate owing to lack of
resources’ (1996: 188).
By implication they exclude non-material elements found in broad UN
definitions, for example: ‘lack of participation in decision-making’, ‘a violation of
human dignity’, ‘powerlessness’ and ‘susceptibility to violence’ (cited in
Langmore, 2000: 37). Similarly, they exclude some of the non-material aspects
emphasized by people in poverty themselves, such as lack of voice, respect and
self-esteem, isolation and humiliation (UKCAP, 1997; Galloway, 2002).

3. Poverty Concept and Definitions
Income or Living Standards:
Another source of variation in definitions of poverty, reflected in the literature on
measurement, lies in whether they are rooted in conceptualizations that are
concerned with, on the one hand, a person’s material resources, especially
income, and, on the other, with actual outcomes in terms of living standards and
activities (Nolan and Whelan, 1996).
Put simply, someone is ‘“poor” when they have both a low standard of living and
a low income’ (Gordon et al., 2000b: 91).
A. B. Atkinson makes a related, but more fundamental, distinction between a
concern with standard of living and a concern with a citizen’s ‘right to a minimum
level of resources’ (1989: 12, emphasis added).

4. Poverty Concept and Definitions
Income Or Capabilities:
Amartya Sen offers an alternative perspective on the role of low income in the
definition of poverty. It has been hugely influential within the international
development context, contributing to a paradigm shift in the meaning of
development away from economic growth and GDP to a focus on ‘poverty as a
denial of choices and opportunities for living a tolerable life’ (UNDP, 1997: 2;
Vizard, 2001).
The human poverty and development indices published in the annual UNDP
Human Development Report reflect Sen’s approach.
Sen takes a step backwards from both income and living standards to ask why
they matter. His answer is that they don’t matter in their own right, for they are
simply instrumental to what really matters, namely the kind of life that a person is
able to lead and the choices and opportunities open to her in leading that life. At
the heart of his approach is an understanding of living as involving ‘being and
doing’.

5. Poverty Concept and Definitions
Absolute and Relative Poverty:
This distinction has been central to post-war debates about how to define poverty.
Definitions deployed in the late nine- tenth and early twentieth century by Charles
Booth and Seebohm Rowntree, the pioneers of modern poverty research, were
supposedly ‘absolute’ in the sense that poverty was said to be understood as lacking
sufficient money to meet basic physical needs.
At its most basic, absolute poverty is defined in terms of survival; more commonly it
refers to subsistence, linked to a basic standard of physical capacity necessary for
production (paid work) and reproduction (the bearing and nurturing of children).
The notion of ‘relative’, which links the concepts of relative poverty and
deprivation, needs unpacking, as it embraces a number of different meanings. Broadly
these fall into two, interrelated, categories concerning, first, the nature of the
comparisons to be made in judging whether poverty exists and, second, the nature of
human needs.
