has gloss | (noun) a level of personal income defining the state of poverty poverty level, poverty line |
has gloss | eng: The poverty line, which is also sometimes called the poverty threshold, in a country is the smallest amount of money that a family can make and still buy what it needs to buy. In the United States, the poverty line is different depending on how many people there are in a family, so the poverty line will be higher in a family with eight people than in a family with three people. This is because it costs more money to buy food and other supplies in a family with more people. |
