The international poverty line is a benchmark used to measure poverty across different countries. It is set by the World Bank and defines the minimum income level required to meet basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing. As of 2021, this line is set at $1.90 per day, adjusted for purchasing power parity. This measure helps governments and organizations assess poverty levels and develop strategies to alleviate it. By using a standardized figure, the international poverty line allows for comparisons between countries and regions, highlighting areas that require urgent attention and support in the fight against poverty.
