Which term is used for the measure that describes the greater probability of certain communities or individuals becoming, or remaining, poor in the coming years?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Vulnerability to poverty
Vulnerability to poverty describes the greater probability of particular communities (such as members of a backward caste) or individuals (such as a widow or a person with a disability) becoming, or remaining, poor in the coming years. It looks ahead, at the risk of falling into poverty, rather than at present income alone.
