Poverty must not be based on the criteria of lowness of income but also can see as a
deprivation of basic capability and that will show the standard of identification of poverty.
No doubt low income is main cause of poverty but lack of income is also the principle reason
for a person’s capability deprivation. The insufficient income is a strong predisposing factor
for impoverish of life. The capability approaches to poverty are deprivation (intrinsically
important whereas low income is only instrumentally significant), income is not the only
instrument in generating capabilities and the impact of income and capabilities varies
between communities, families and even individuals.
