To meet that challenge, various “internally relative” economic measures are promoted – such as the current “60% of the median household income” which is currently popular in New Zealand and has been adopted by the Commissioner for Children.  This kind of measure is then extrapolated into statistical measures of inequality based on distributions of income and/or wealth within these countries.

Finally, these statistical measures of inequality have been compared across nations in studies analyzing whether inequality, changes or measures to deal with it affect economic growth.

Further complicating the definition are the historic improvements in wealth, health and standard of living across developed nations.   The elderly are inclined to scoff at claims of hardship such as cold, uninsulated houses and lack of heating or appliances compared with the Spartan homes of their youth.

Finally, there is the issue of lifestyle choice.  Some in wealthy nations may choose to live a simple, non-materialistic life perhaps living off the land in an isolated rural or island location.  By economic measures of income and wealth they may be judged as poverty stricken, but in reality their lives may be satisfying and even idyllic.  In less extreme examples, very many will choose an occupation and way of life that gives them freedom and less stress than an alternative which may provide a higher and/or more risky income or potential wealth.

So we must come to the conclusion that economic measures are a very inadequate assessment of poverty and are never likely to produce agreement on their relevance or effective action to make improvements.  That leads to thinking about the real causes of poverty hardship in our developed societies, particularly as they affect children.  These are not hard to find.  By the time they begin school at age 5 there are huge differences in the abilities and experiences of most poor vs wealthy children.  Not only do these never recover but they widen as children grow older.  The consequence is that these poor children have drastically reduced options in life and vastly less chance of economic success.

In short, real poverty is a state of mind that cripples all future prospects.  Worse, it transmits powerfully from one generation to the next.  This is the curse of stupid beliefs manifesting in destructive behaviours with many aspects.   These include:

1. Disbelief in education
2. Belief in violence to solve conflicts
3. Valuing power over kindness
4. Disregard for personal or private property
5. Lack of trust and disregard for the value of trust
6. Disregard for sexual integrity
7. Disbelief in reliability and honesty
8. Disbelief in goal setting or working to achieve goals
9. Disbelief in investing in the future
10. Belief in instant gratification
11. Disrespect for self and everyone else
12. Rejection of individual and family responsibilities

That is real poverty:  permanent, pervasive and self-perpetuating.  Other people can be economically poor, for example many recent immigrants or young people, but with the right ingrained beliefs that will only be temporary.

Just as individual poverty is best assessed on the quality of the individual’s minds, so it is with nations.  An economically poor nation with good beliefs will not stay poor and will not feel poor.  Honest Government maintaining peace and supporting education, personal freedom and free and open markets will create wealth and prosperity.  The transitions in Asia since WW2 demonstrate the possibilities.  Once again, the personal stupid beliefs above manifest in a country’s leadership or in any significant portion of the population are a recipe for national poverty.  So too are religious, racial and tribal hatreds and conflicts.

In summary then, poverty is best assessed on the basis of the above beliefs and consequential behaviours.  That leads to the conclusion that poverty is best addressed by changing those beliefs and cannot be fixed simply by redistribution of income or wealth.  Almost certainly doing the latter alone will merely facilitate greater and faster spread of the destructive beliefs that comprise real poverty.
