Answer:

Illiteracy level

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the main dimensions in which indications of poverty are separated is education. Indication of literacy rate is included in this category – without a literate society, there is no education at all.

The literacy rate is connected to poverty in the sense that illiterate people can’t go to school, and later pursue higher education. This means they have a predisposition to have a low-paying job or to be unemployed, which lowers their income. This leads to poverty.

Some other indicators of poverty are lack of job opportunities, malnourishment, lack of access to healthcare, lack of drinking water, and sanitation.
