“i plead ‘poverty’ your honor!”
.
(official way for defendant to declare that he has not the financial means to pay a fine levied for some crime that he apparently either pled ‘guilty to’ or was ‘convicted of’…or something of the sort…)
.
(‘poverty’ is the scarcity or the lack of a certain (variant) amount of ‘material possessions’ or ‘money’)
(‘poverty’ is a multifaceted concept, which may include ‘social’, ‘economic’, and ‘political’ elements)
(‘absolute poverty’, ‘extreme poverty’, or destitution refers to the complete lack of the means necessary to meet ‘basic personal needs such as ‘food’, ‘clothing’, and ‘shelter’)
(the threshold at which absolute poverty is defined is considered to be about the same, independent of the person’s permanent location or ‘era’)
(on the other hand, relative poverty occurs when a person who lives in a given country does not enjoy a certain minimum level of “living standards” as compared to the rest of the population of that country)
(therefore, the threshold at which relative poverty is defined varies from one ‘country’ to another, or from one ‘society’ to another)
(after the ‘industrial revolution’, ‘mass production’ in ‘factories’ made producing ‘goods’ increasingly less ‘expensive’ and more ‘accessible’)
(of more importance is the modernization of ‘agriculture’, such as ‘fertilizers’, to provide enough ‘yield’ to feed the ‘population’)
(providing basic needs can be restricted by constraints on government’s ability to deliver services, such as ‘corruption’, ‘tax avoidance’, ‘debt and loan conditionalities’, and ‘brain drain of health care and educational professionals’)
(strategies of increasing income to make basic needs more affordable typically include ‘welfare’, ‘economic freedoms’, and ‘providing financial services’)
.
(‘poverty reduction’ is still a major issue (or a ‘target’) for many ‘international organizations’ such as the ‘united nations’ and the ‘world bank’)
