Definition and multidimensionality of the concept of poverty Abstract: The subject of this research is the formation of the concept of poverty in both, the scientific and normative senses. The author reviews such aspects of the topic as deprivation and alleviation of poverty. A special attention is given to the content of the concept of poverty within historical perspective, beginning with the late until today. The author analyzes the opinions of foreign researches on the issue of poverty, as well as the types of poverty among various individuals. The distinction between the extreme poverty and the chronic poverty, as well as the means and methods of assessment of poverty are being examined. The main conclusion consists in the different aspects of understanding of the phenomenon of poverty.
