State
Absolute poverty is deprivation measured against a fixed standard of the resources required for survival, unchanged by what others in the society have.

A threshold based on the cost of minimum food and shelter is an absolute measure.
Watch for
The threshold is set by a decision about what counts as minimum, so it is fixed by choice.
