So were incurable bacterial infections, high childhood death rates and even Human Rights.
In England, the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities has established the Nationally Described Space Standard [1], which specifies that a one-bedroom, one-person flat should have a minimum gross internal floor area of 37 square meters if it includes a shower room, or 39 square meters if it has a bathroom.
I guess anything significantly below that can be called outright poverty.
