Explain the concept of poverty and how it is measured.

Although the most severe poverty is in the developing world, there is evidence of poverty in every region. In developed countries, this condition results in wandering homeless people and poor suburbs and ghettos. Poverty may be seen as the collective condition of poor people, or of poor groups, and in this sense entire nation-states are sometimes regarded as poor. To avoid possible stigma, they are commonly referred to as developing nations.

Your answer would be that poverty is measured in how poor or "beat up" something or where something is.
