Absolute poverty
The inability to afford the basicgoodsandservices required to meet essentialneeds, when measured in relation to a fixed poverty line that indicates the minimumincome required to coverbasicnecessities.
Typically each country has its national poverty line, which measures the amount of income required to meet basic human needs. And people below that line would be considered to be living in absolute poverty.
The World Bank, however, has also set its level, where people living below 1.90$ (PPP) per day are considered to be in absolute poverty.

Note
Poverty is a complex and multifaceted concept that goes beyond just lacking money. It encompasses the inability to meet basic needs such as food, shelter, education, and health care.
Poverty can be measured in different ways, including absolute and relative terms, which we'll explore later.
Think of poverty as a ladder - some people are so low on the ladder that they can't even reach the first rung (basic necessities), while others may have enough to survive but not enough to thrive.
Definition
Poverty
The state of lacking sufficient resources to meet basic human needs and participate fully in society.
A person living in poverty might struggle to afford three meals a day, pay rent, or buy school supplies for their children.
