The poverty is a very comprehensive and complicated concept and it is considered to be behind one of the most serious problems of the globalized world today. Poverty can be conceptualized as an expression of extreme disparity because it distances specific sections of the population not only from the rich, but also from the rest of the population. At present, world disparity and poverty continue to grow and the split between wealth and poverty grows both globally and on a national scale. This thesis is divided into two parts {--} theoretical and practical. The theoretical part limits itself to looking at basic terms e.g. poverty from a global perspective, types of poverty, its monitoring and measurement, disparity, unemployment, population groups at risk of poverty and social exclusion. The influence of social transfers in connection with poverty is also highlighted in the work. On the basis of the defined hypothesis other marginally mentioned key topics are included. These concern life values and the perceptions of young people, as well as the discrepancy between men and women in the biological, psychological and social fields. The thrust of the thesis was to ascertain the perception of poverty in the minds of young people. The research was carried out at selected schools through the use of anonymous questionnaires. Each questionnaire contained ten questions. The results of the research are presented in the chapter "Results" which forms the practical part of the thesis.
