Poverty has gotten no universal accepted definition, it is complex and multifaceted. It is in most cases estimated that 75% of poor people in the developing world live in rural areas and engage in activities which , for the most part, lies outside the bounds of the formal organized economy and among the poor. So are vulnerable groups such as youth, migrant workers, disabled person etc.

Researchers and advocacy groups have come to view poverty not simply as lack of financial resources, but as both the cause and consequences of social exclusions. A lack of money prevents individual form fully participating in social and economic activities of their communities. Poverty remains a persistent challenge for the world and its developing countries. It is directly related to poor outcomes in health, education and employment, and it increase women's vulnerability to violence. These outcomes limit people's ability to fully participate in their communities and to contribute to the development of their country.

Poverty also relates to social, political and cultural factors such as discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, caste, aged and disability, lack of access to education and training, bad health, lack of empowerment, vulnerability, lack of proper growth, nutrition and development, unequal access to physical capital assets (land, equipment and etc.) and human capital (education, training, and health), low level of productivity, inequitable terms of trade and the concentration of investments in urban areas are also aggregating factors.

These are some of the reasons why GLOBAL POVERTY ERADICATION CENTRE (GLOPEC) is dedicated to providing the world with the right system of reducing poverty in various developing countries.
