Poverty in the entirety of Australia refers to the incidence of relative poverty in Australia and its measurement. Relative income poverty is measured as the percentage of the population that earns less than the median wage of the working population.
In 2020, the Australian Council of Social Service released a report stating that relative poverty was growing in Australia, with an estimated 3.2 million people, or 13.6% of the population, living below the internationally accepted relative poverty threshold of 50% of a country's median income. The report also estimated that 774,000 children (17.7%) under the age of 15 were living in relative poverty.[1][2]
