POVERTY OF DIFFERENT KINDS Income is the common way of measuring poverty, but poverty has many dimensions. The poor are deprived of services, resources and opportunities as well as money. Their limited resources are inefficiently deployed. Energy, water, and food all cost more per unit consumed—paradoxically, poverty is expensive for the poor.
