The 5 dimensions of poverty stated by OECD DAC (POVNET) are as follows:

  • Lower income of households

It is when the income of a household of same size is comparatively smaller than the average income.

  • Limited and confined education

Due to lack of money as a result of lower than average income, access to proper and quality education to these poverty stricken population can not be provided adding further to their misery.

  • Deficit Health Insurance facilities

  • Chronic poverty
