Relative poverty rate considers a person poor if his/her income is lower than a specific threshold, defined in accordance with other peoples income. The most common relative poverty measure is the share of those in a country whose income is below the 60 per cent (or 50 per cent, or other) ofthe median income in the given country. Material deprivation rate is an absolute measure of poverty. We talk about deprivation if a person cannot afford the consumption of certain goods and services, or not in the expected guality. Defining items of material deprivation in the EU are, for example, hardships to pay unexpected expenses, affording a one-week annual holiday away from home, a meal involving meat, chicken, or fish every second day, or the adeguate heating of a dwelling. Also, the lack of ownership of certain durable goods like a washing machine, colour television, telephone, or car adds here. Median income is the income level dividing the population into two: one half of the population has less, and one half of the population has more. Or, if we put the whole population in a row according to their income, the person standing exactly in the middle of the row will have the median income. Gini coefficient is an indicator of the inequality of the distribution of income or wealth in a society. Gini is a single number between 0 and 1. The higher its value is, the more unequal the distribution is.

Its goal is to serve as a guide towards efficient employment and social outcomes facing challenges affecting the fulfillment of peoples essential needs.
