estimated 553,742 people in

the United States experiencing
homelessness on a given night,
according to the most recent
national point-in-time estimate.
This represents a rate of
approximately 17 people
experiencing homelessness per
every 10,000 people in the
general population. The
homeless people in the US
suffer homelessness due to the

homelessness.

Microsoft, donated about $27

for initiatives and programs
across the globe, focusing on
agricultural development,
emergency relief, global
libraries, urban poverty, global
health, and education. Since its
inception, the foundation has
donated millions to
organizations that include the
GAVI Alliance; the World
Health Organization; The
Rotary Foundation; The Global

gender.” Culture refers to the

shared values, beliefs and
norms of a specific group of
people therefore it influences
the manner we learn, live and
behave. Culture is a key
concept to the sociological
perspective.

➢ We can define poverty as the

condition where the basic
needs of a family, like food,
shelter, clothing, and education
are not fulfilled. It can lead to
other problems like poor
literacy, unemployment,
malnutrition, etc. A poor person
is not able to get education due
to lack of money and therefore
remains unemployed. An
unemployed person is not able
to buy enough & nutritious food
for his family and their health
declines. A weak person lacks
the energy required for the job.
A jobless person remains poor
only. Thus we can say that
poverty is the root cause of
other problems.

➢ How Poverty is Measured?

For measuring poverty United
nations have devised two
measures of poverty – Absolute
& relative poverty. Absolute
poverty is used to measure
poverty in developing countries
like India. Relative poverty is
used to measure poverty in
developed countries like the
USA. In absolute poverty, a line
based on the minimum level of
income has been created & is
called a poverty line. If the per

day income of a family is below

this level, then it is poor or
below the poverty line. If per
day income of a family is above
this level, then it is non-poor or
above the poverty line. In India,
the new poverty line is Rs 32 in
rural areas and Rs 47 in urban

➢ The Benazir Income Support
Programme (BISP) is a federal
unconditional cash transfer
poverty reduction program in
Pakistan. Launched in July
2008, it was the largest single
social safety net program in the
country with nearly Rs. 90
billion ($900 million) distributed
to 5.4 million beneficiaries in
2016. BISP has increased per
adult equivalent monthly level
of consumption expenditure of
BISP beneficiary households by
Rs 187. 8. Using the FEI
poverty line BISP has reduced
the poverty rate by 7% points.
