RE: Counting it up

D.K.’s blog post about the way of measuring poverty was interesting because it was something I had never really thought of before. When Poverty was first measured it was determined by asking for income. Mr. Duncan Smith has proposed that this does not truly measure how poor a person is. Smith theory says that to judge if someone is truly below the poverty line or not you need to take more into account than just income. You should include things like “worklessness”, education failure, and drug and alcohol dependency.

 

I agree with this statement I think that poverty is much more than just an income it is a lifestyle. If being poor is a lifestyle then I feel that money is not the only thing that influences a lifestyle. This to me is another case of people measuring things in units that cannot and should not be measured in this way.
