They do not fall below the material deprivation threshold and their consumption is not below the median level of households that are materially poor. • Poor only on material deprivation definition: Households below the threshold for material deprivation. Although above the consumption threshold, they do not have higher consumption than the median of households that are not materially poor. • Rising out of poverty: Households below the threshold for material deprivation. They are above the consumption threshold and have higher consumption than the median of households that are not materially poor. • Not poor: Households above both the consumption and the material deprivation thresholds.
