Abstract: Poverty is a multi-dimensional concept, not just a monetary one. It comprises various aspects of human and social life such as education, health, and housing. Furthermore, poverty has objective, and subjective dimensions as well. The latter subjective aspect of poverty is especially important for Egypt, since it is a middle income level country, and because of the tremendous political transformation backed by the popular discontent since 2011. To understand the direction of change of Egyptian society, it is necessary to examine the subjective poverty as one of the important reasons of social discontents.
