7. Conclusion.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
