I want to believe age is one of the factors in determining whether a person is poor or not?

You can't say a boy of 12 is poor because he can't cater for himself now and doesn't have a job.
But same can't go for an adult!

So at what age can one be considered poor??
Why??

Sort:  

Poverty simply means inability to meet basic needs.

Therefore, it can't be age specific .

Access to the basics to meet needs could be by Self , Parents , Sibblings , Friends etc.
