absolute deprivation.

Explanation:

Absolute deprivation is simply described as a minimum level of need to make an individual capable of living and actively participating in society. Often used synonymous with absolute poverty, it means the lack of the adequate resources needed to meet the basic necessities of life. These basic necessities refer to a minimum threshold of a set of supplies which often include food, housing, education, clean water, clothing, and health care.
