Deep poverty
In accordance with the definition of the World Bank, a person with a daily income lower than USD 1.90 is considered to be living in deep poverty. The phenomenon, however, is more complex than this, and may not be measured simply by income.
The most precise picture of deep poverty is offered by the set of criteria established by Gábor Havas. He writes that communities that sink into deep poverty are described by (I) very low levels of schooling and (II) employment rate, (III) strong local concentration of housing areas and segregation, (IV) grave social deficits deriving from these and (V) a high likelihood of the disadvantaged social situation reproducing itself.
