Primary poverty is defined as a lack of sufficient funds to cover fundamental requirements; it is sometimes referred to as "living below the poverty line."
Secondary poverty occurs when people earn just enough money to meet their basic needs, but spend a portion of it on "coping mechanisms" to deal with financial and work-related stress (high risk and/or tough working circumstances owing to abuse and long hours), and therefore end up in a state of poverty.

Relative poverty is determined by the country's degree of development. It's about ensuring that everyone has access to the same living standards so that everyone can live their lives to their best potential. In this sense, poverty alleviation entails releasing vast, untapped economic potential within any country.

Relative poverty occurs when a household's income is 50% less than the national average, implying that they have some money but not enough to afford anything more than the bare necessities. This form of poverty, on the other hand, varies depending on the country's economic growth.
