National Poverty Line

The National Poverty Line is a standard established by a government to determine the minimum income level required to meet basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing. It defines the threshold below which individuals or families are considered to be living in poverty. This line helps in assessing poverty levels within a country and is used to guide policies, allocate resources, and measure progress in poverty reduction efforts. It can vary from one country to another depending on factors like cost of living and economic conditions.
