Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Absolute poverty is when a person lacks the basic necessities of life, including access to adequate food, shelter, and clothing. This is different from relative poverty, which is when a person's income and resources are below the national average and they cannot afford to participate fully in the society they live in. Downward mobility and exchange mobility refer to changes in social class over time and are not directly related to poverty.
