Poverty is  the  pronounced  deprivation  of  well-being. It  is  not  being able to satisfy one's basic needs because one possesses insufficient money to buy services or lacks the access to services.Absolute  poverty refers  to  the  state  of  severe  deprivation  of basic human  needs,  which  commonly  includes  food, water,  sanitation, clothing, shelter, healthcare, education and information. Relative  poverty refers  to  as  being  below  some  relative  income threshold, where this threshold differs for each society or country. One may be relatively poor, without being in the state of absolute poverty; relative poverty is often considered as an indirect measure of income inequality.

Introduction

Page 5: Poverty of bangladesh

Bangladesh is a country of 160 million population with a population density 1142/sq.km. Bangladesh economy is not big enough to support such a vast population and high incidence of poverty is the ultimate result. Though the country is making good progress in the socio-economic field in increasing the literacy rate, improving expectation of life, increasing food production and decreasing infant mortality and total fertility but progress of poverty reduction is very slow.

Poverty status of Bangladesh

Page 6: Poverty of bangladesh

Macro-economic growth could not help reducing poverty and income inequality. Now the planners and policy makers suggest to target the poor for poverty alleviation programmed implementation. Here the poverty mapping can play vital role to give visual presentation of intensity of poverty incidence by geographic area. This help the planners and policy makers easily detect the most poverty effected area and to allocate more resource to alleviate poverty. Information Technology can be used along with poverty mapping for quick dissemination to the planners and policy makers and thus, poverty monitoring will be strengthen.
