Yes, I think both are important. On fixing absolute poverty - it means children and adults don't starve to death or die of treatable diseases. Hopefully it's self evident why it's important to solve. On relative poverty - it means equal opportunity. The gap in life expectancy between the richest and the poorest is like 10 years. The lowest quartile has the least income mobility, and still struggles to have more access to quality food, health care, education. And that lack of mobility concentrates wealth and reduces generating wealth which leaves society as a whole poorer.
