Question 2

Poverty can be classified in many ways. Which of the following is not a recognized way to describe poverty?
 
  1. Poverty can be described as absolute (a veteran has no place to live and no food or clothing) or relative (a family of six must share a two-room apartment).
  2. Poverty can be either acute (a single mother loses her job) or chronic (second-generation welfare recipients).
  3. Poverty may be determined by comparing family income with a predetermined index (how a family of four compares with federal poverty thresholds).
  4. Poverty may be determined by gauging trends historically (higher percentages of persons on public assistance than 20 years ago).
