Define your own poverty line, and provide the reason. Also, try to measure the poverty of a country using your own poverty line.

It would be a lot of work (well I guess that is why it is called an assignment :D ). But this might help if you doing the United States:

Maybe select median rent+food+utilities+clothes+savings and try to get a monthly total. But some of that will not be easy, like food, not sure how to model it. Good luck, let us know what you come up with!
